hi all
so if you are wondering why i have fallen off the face of the earth... let me give you a few excuses... i mean a few explanations.
first of all... i decided to have laser surgery to correct my vision and take of the stupid glasses that i have been tortured with my whole life. i found out that they perform laser surgery right here in Yerevan and since this is where i live, i strongly believed that this is where i should have the surgery done. so after a few consultations etc... i had surgery!!!
the surgery here is a little diffferent than the one done in the states... here they completely burn the lens as opposed to leaving the outmost flap layer thingy... so it is a tougher recovery... your eyes are closed for three days and i still can't really read too clearly what i am typing... but within a month i should be completely recovered.
so while i was recovering they turned off my internet connection... here in yerevan you don't get bills mailed to you or reminders sent to you ... you have to remember that your internet will get cut off on such and such a date and your phone on such and such a date...etc etc etc... so because of surgery i forgot about my internet... after a few days of laziness (not wanting to walk up the three flights of soviet stairs that come with paying my arminco bill)
Yerevan is completely amazing this time of year... Armenia is amazing this time of year. i was blessed with a drive out to Garni last week where i had an amazing day at the village with a few of my friends. My brother David, a friend from LA Arby, Arthur and I set out for a day in the village. after the traditional visits to Garni and Geghard we went to Garni village to visit some friends that we have there.
once we walked in... the wife apologized for not being prepared... the cow was about to give birth so they had been in the gom all day with her. we went to visit all the animals and i got to play with newborn goats, sheep, puppies chicks and a baby horse.. sooo cute.
after having my eyes bandaged up so long it was great to be out in nature and my favorite part of the day... other than all the baby animals... was seeing the dzyun dzaghiks... which are these beautiful purplesque flowers that come out of the snow... they are magnificent... they symbolize spring and i was happy to see them.
i am going to get into the habit of writing more now that i have my vision back and my internet connection paid for until May.
