Parking lot, Gaghard., originally uploaded by loretsi.

This is the parking lot of the Geghard monastery. To get to the monastery, one needs to follow the road which turns left and then right. There are a few street vendors selling 'gata' and have their stalls set under a large tree at the first turn (where the man in red T-shirt is standing at the left hand side of this photo).

The day we were at Geghard, there was a filming of a TV movie. There were actors playing old time Armenian royal family, etc. There were quite a few soldiers there as well taking part. You can see their transport vehicle parked in the distance.
