Georgia: David Gareja Monastery

Today we visited the David Gareja Monastery, which was founded in the 6th century. The monastery was located a few hours' drive outside of Tbilisi, so it took awhile to get there over bumpy roads. The scenery was gorgeous!



The monastery was built into sandstone rock, and later fortified.






After visiting the monastery, we had a picnic lunch on the way back to Tbilisi. The ride took just as long to get back into town. We had a little downtime before dinner.
