Climbing Adventures

I'm sure I've mentioned this before, but Strumica is nestled in the foothill of a mountain range. Last Friday Anna B. and I decided to venture up this mountain, then yesterday Andrew, Jeremiah and I went.
Start of the hike. A hut that we can only hope is vacant.


They have exercise suggestions situated along the
path; some of which you may NOT want to do.

Don't fall over the edge Anna!


The St. Ilija (Ill-i-ya) monastery, located on the Elenica mountain,
about four kilometers away from Strumica.

We ran into some cattle. It's hard to tell,
but they're smaller than the ones I'm used to seeing.

Czar’s Towers, a fortress located at the top of a
steep hill overlooking Strumica from the south.

Overlooking Strumica!


Went on the same hike with Andrew and Jeremiah Boswell yesterday.


It's such a blessing to be able to escape into God's beautiful creation. Doing things like this remind me of how very small I am and how very big God is. Fellowship with others along the way is an added blessing.
