=> In the summer of 2007 (like the preceding summer), I went along the border with Iran, Armenia an Georgia, staying with families in very small villages, travelling that way from lake Van to Ardahan. I wanted to see how people lived in those high altitudes, what they talked about, and to go inside the traditional houses to see how the rooms were displayed. Such hospitality, unforgettable !...

In August 2008, I travelled (like the 2 previous years) from one village to the other, sleeping in family houses and sometimes visiting a nearby city for some hours. The itinerary this time was roughly from the shores of Van lake till the mountains above the Black sea, passing again near the huge Ararat mountain that continues to fascinate me (but it was not so visible this year, due to the haze & heath).
Splendid hospitality everywhere, + so interesting ways of lives to discover...... (full story) (5 photos)
