We were lucky to meet an Australian couple at the hotel,
& drove to less touristy parts. The church frescoes are
mostly defaced & more or less wrecked.
If you've ever chipped at a rock, think how long these places
took to carve. Nowadays they are used more for storage,
or pigeons than for living quarters.
People say there are probably underground
cities still to be re-discovered. I visited one, & could
barely imagine living there, even with the enemy
on the rampage, above.
