The water turns on at exactly 7am. It is like clockwork.
The Ethiopian Armenian reunion (almost all left after the Emperor was overthrown in I believe 1975) was held in LA, where the largest number of Ethio-Armenians ended up. I missed it, being in Armenia at the time. I tried weakly to convince them to hold it in Armenia, since an Ethiopian-Armenian reunion logically should be held in either Ethiopia or Armenia. Anyways, here are some pictures of the events. I wish I could have gone since I have always enjoyed my Ethiopian background and from what I have heard the Armenian diaspora there was just about idyllic. Very successful, tightknit, no two churches, no two agumps, pretty much married Armenians, or the foreign spouse would join the Armenian community. Too bad. I assume they will be e-mailing me with the plans to take over the world any time now.
Well today marks the opening of the Tourist information center. It is at 3 Nalbandian and when we get our sign (we don't have one yet) it will say Armenia Information. That won't be for a few more days. I must say I do like the mafia landlord, Nver. He is just so great to deal with, and so true to his word. He has literally worked miracles, and accomodated us a great deal. I can almost forgive his insane driving!
Yesterday by chance I ran into Sevane on the street, a co-LCO volunteer from 1994. Today Aram and Davit will come back from their trips abroad. Madlene moves here in a week...
I know I was meaning to write about other things as well, but I have (as often happens) forgotten what.
