Beyond the umpteenth twist of the river, the monastery finally came
into sight. A view that was awesome. Kalisa Darreh Sham is an ancient
christian monastery dominating the valley among high arid mountains.
It consists of a church and some other stone buildings where the
monks used to live (not anymore). A water source provides drinking
water and allows the cultivation of flowers and fruit trees in the
gardens. I have rarely been in such a peaceful and relaxing place.
Just beware of wasps: there were a lot of them, and seemed to like
visitors a lot.
