A cold wind pushes off Lake Sevan as the jeep bites into a roadside track and the city falls away. Snow-slick plains open to glassy water and a horizon of basalt ridges; the driver eases the vehicle into a rhythm and the landscape responds, revealing rocky coves, roadside pines, and the squat stone silhouette of Goshavank rising above a scatter of roofs.
