We went on a hike with our friends from Skopje and Prilep, both American and Macedonian. We began at noon on Saturday and returned about 8 hours later. Kate went on Spencer's back as we climbed up the mountain. We had a personal tour from the monk in residence--he told us the history of the church building, and how it is the oldest in Macedonia, it is dedicated to Mary and some would even say Mary originated from this area (highly unlikely). We walked on 4th century stone floors and were within inches of paintings that were 100s of years old. We were not able to take pictures inside the church, but were able to take some of the outside.
