On the other side the easy slope of the river bank gives way to a steadily more strenuous grade.  Rocky outcroppings covered in moss dot the landscape and it isn't too long into your ascent that the first light of day break begins to filter down through the tightly knit canopy.    The trees on this side of the valley, though still huge don't seem to be as ancient as some of those on the other side of the river.  By the time you reach the valley's rim it is already mid-morning and the fierce sunlight is hard on your tired strained eyes.   Sitting squat at the foot of an imposing mountain, a ruined monastery comes into view between ancient gnarled trees. Made of simple stone blocks, worn smooth with the passage of time, the stout building is falling apart. Sections of the slanted shale roof have collapsed and portions of the outer wall have crumbled.  Weeds and wild thorn plants run rampant across the field leading up to the place, leaving only the slightest indication of a path that ends at the ruined front  doors. Beyond, an overgrown yard sits in shadow.  Jeva nods, "That's it.  Like I told you."</blockquote>
