| Honey production is big in the valleys. The hives seem to be 4 times the size of what we have in America. For some families, this is their living. These next few pictures are in Dillijan where we spent two nights. |

| This hunk of tree and an ax are the tools of a butcher that we saw many times. The customer tells you what cut of meat you want, and where to cut it, so the butcher brings it to the block and hacks it off with his hatchet. I couldn't get my camera out in time to show the piece of meat he hacked for his customer, but it looked very good. It seems like you have to know your anatomy of a cow. |

| After climbing down to the town down many steps, we had to climb back up. We found this great cafe that served americanized food. Several other peace corps kids joined us for lunch. |
 |
| Nice view of the valley of Dillijan...on our way down (or up?) many steps. |
 |
| An outdoor ampitheater, seemed to be in good condition, so it most likely was used for concerts, etc. |
 |
| This old truck was just left to rot when the Russians left Armenia. |
 |
| This is the front yard of the place we stayed in Dillijan. The apartment was being used by another peace corps married couple, who very generously gave us the use of it for the two days we were there. The gates are locked at night. |
