It dawned on me yesterday how important it was to have good friends in Armenia. I say this as my family is so far away from here and it can get pretty lonely at times without friends.
Today I went to a small Church called �Sourp Katoghige� which is located in a courtyard between Abovian and Sayat Nova streets. A christening was taking place and I watched with pleasure the happy event. Three sisters (orphans) were being christened at the same time ranging from the ages of 6 to 18 years old. I was amazed at how casual the service was, not at all like the christening events I had experienced previously.
Finally my landlord turned up today with his wife to collect rent and handed me 3 gorgeous roses. What hospitality!!
