Chapel Climb

Seth and I have been "training" for our honeymoon in Glacier National Park by going out for long hikes with loaded packs on the weekend. These hikes have taken us to some pretty amazing spots.



Behind me in this photo is a small chapel that is part of a larger monastery complex in the hills outside Mtskheta (the historic capital of Georgia located about 30 minutes from Tbilisi). Unfortunately we couldn't enter the monastery because I was inappropriately dressed (shorts, no sleeves and no head cover.)




But we were able to climb up to this small chapel and have a look around.





The photo on the right is of the inside of the chapel looking up toward the dome over the altar. This ancient chapel is still used today and there was a small table set out with a prayer book and a jar for offerings.


Below is the view from the chapel.
