Carol left this morning and did not want to go. So is the story of Armenia and the power it has over people. We are sad to separate as we have become quite close. Carol, come back soon because Yerevan, Pablavok and your "family" here misses you already.
It has been an interesting week getting adjusted to my new area. I just moved in to my building near the Sakharov Hraparak. I am renting out the third floor until my apartment on the second floor is ready. Construction starts at 9:30 am and thank God it is my construction or else I would be yelling bloody murder. This way I have something to gain and so I keep my complaints to myself. I have a cool market near my house which is 24 hours and has great food and I am loving the location.
My brother was supposed to come, and of course can't as was my boss. I start work on Monday and will be working full time, from 10 to 6 each day. A new phase. I am so excited to be working full time and am looking forward to beginning a normal routine.
Oh, we had a fun outing to Tsaghkadzor to a restaurant called Hats a Doun. It was great because we were the only ones there and had a great Armenian band all to ourselves. I got to hear all my favorite songs. I was tempted to ask to borrow the mike and take over vocals for a while but decided I would save everyone the drama.
OH my aunts wallet was stolen today! I am pretty upset about it. It happened at Vernisage our open air market here in Yerevan. I used the internet phone services and cancelled her credit cards... Jant sagh, what else can you say. This by the way is quite rare and surprising. I guess there is no village without a dog (an old Armenian saying).
I wanted to go to Pablavok tonight to listen to jazz but it was closed because I think Putin was there (he is on an official visit here) so I am playing my Miles Davis CD and enjoying a nice night at home.
