Friday night at the Opera was great but so hot inside I felt so sorry for the Conductor.
Someone sent me an e-mail that made me think of logging about it. The streets of Yerevan are undergoing major construction/remodelling all at once. As soon as I step out of my place, it�s like a war zone. There are no sidewalks; uncovered holes everywhere and with the slightest wind, dust everywhere. Instead of working in sections, they have demolished the entire city (pokr gentron). It is an absolute mess and dangerous to walk on with some traffic lights not working at all, making it difficult for pedestrians.

Let�s see what did I do Saturday? Oh yes cleaned the house cause of all the dust. The floors were black since I leave the windows open at all times, I changed the bucket water so many times and it still came out black. In the evening I went to the opening of �Parev Inn� it really was very impressive. The rooms are spacious with all facilities such as shower in each room, air conditioning and very decent prices for Yerevan as opposed to a hotel. The best thing about the place is that it�s so cosy and has a family atmosphere. I met some guests staying there who were from Lebanon, California and The Emirates.

Sunday I spent most of the day with Katy. We had lunch first to give us energy for our vernisage trip. Oh boy, walking in the sun carrying bags of gifts was a bad idea but it was the only free day she had for vernisage so it had to be done. Then we stopped by for a drink to cool off and on my way home I wanted to buy ice cream from a vendor right under my flat and since the seller wasn�t there, this kid comes running towards me. I must have looked in such need of cooling off, the kid suggested I cross the road to buy �marojne� from another vendor. I didn�t even have the energy to cross the road to buy it since the roads are such a mess and I was so hot In the evening, we went to Subway jazz club for a little while since it�s air conditioned.

Ara, I thought my body guard was Eric?
