Wandering Mole (4) - Harman

The next day we stayed closer to our "camp", so we went to Harman. This is a well known fortified church, well preserved and very easy to get to from the main road.

Impressive by size (it must have looked bigger to my little ones, because they turned speechless for a long time). Despite the early hours of the day, everything was glowing, inside as well as outside.

I looked carefully at the benches: not a single metal nail in them! Everything was wood, even if not in one piece anylonger. Questions like "but how do they stay together?!" made me realised how at ease they were with hammering a nail here and there and how many details they notice at once.
For some, obviously, the hands turn out to be another pair of eyes. :)

So we went out to solve the mistery. And there they were: wooden nails!

However there are things that don't fit in the pictures, as much as I try. Like the smell of the oleanders...

But the best part (for my squirrels) was yet to come.
I kept telling them that long time ago people used to live inside the walls of the fortresses. My, that was hard to get! We opened books, we talked, we built with building blocks, but it still seemed like a fairy tale. So there it was, finally the chance to get inside one of those walls...

Quick stop before moving on: a picnic at the bottom of the stairs...

And, YES, the Mole was there to witness them all.
