Today is the 8th day of our wonderful journey at Armenia. On our way from Artsakh to Armenia we stopped some where below Shushi called Kareen Dag Keugh. The tour guide told us about this keugh. She told us that the soldiers climbed cliffs and rocks to save Shushi but their guns and ammunition were too heavy that some of the soldiers tumbled down the hill. She also told us that the soldiers tricked the Azeris by saying different plans and talking different languages into the walkie-talkies to confuse the enemy. The way from Artsakh to Yerevan had many mountains and valleys. It was beautiful. We saw many cows, goats, and donkeys.
Then we went to a tree planting place called Berzeor. There was a hole in the ground that had a pot that had a walnut tree in it. We got the soil from a pile and poured it on the plant until the whole entire hole was covered.
Our bus stopped by itself. But luckily it started back up. Then we went to a restaurant to eat lunch.
After, we went to Jermuk’s Chervej. It was such an amazing sight. The water was cold and just our luck it started to rain. But that did not stop us from moving on. We were on the bus for a few hours. When we got to the Marriott we were all so happy. This day was very exciting!Bye.
