Wow, I actually did some serious work on my internship project today, and now I might actually have some time to write.

We've travelled a lot this past week, and, personally, I love travelling in this country. You can only spend so much time in the city center before you lose your mind. It's easy for people, diasporan and otherwise, to come to this country on vacation, stay for a few weeks around Yerevan and say they love it. What's not to love? You have amazing food, beautiful sites, beautiful people, cafes, tea houses, ice cream, nice hotels, the whole package; and it costs pennies.

Hello out there in radio land. Please excuse the delay, our internet has been down for the last few days. We have had the last three days off from our internships, and had a mostly free schedule. On the 1st we went to Ashtarakhitzor for Carla's birthday accompanied by the Yaldezians' cousin Suren and his wife and kids, and Lillit who used to work at our hotel and now is one of our local buddies. Ashtarakhitzor is a restaraunt/river/zoo/dance floor/concert hall/awesome in the an area called Ashtarakh(I'm sure I'm spelling this wrong). I also learned that tzor, at least I think, means ravine.
