St. John's Cave and Monastery

Hi everyone, yesterday Shawn and I went to St. John's Cave. It is where St. John the Hermit lived (or was said to have lived). Then we walked down into a gorge where there was a very old monastery. They are no longer in use but there is a monastery at the top of the mountain that is still used. We weren't aloud to take pictures in there. The walk to the bottoms of the gorge was very steep and we walked along an old rock path (that was falling apart). It was a nice walk but the walk back up was not so easy. We were the only ones there so we were able to take our time and walk around inside of the old buildings and caves. It was a great experience and we had a lot of fun. The two slide shows below are from our walk. The pictures above are Shawn and me at St. John's Cave and then us about half way up from the bottom of the gorge (we were tired!). Hope that you all enjoy.
