Yesterday was another fantastic Sunday. Didn't leave the house, enjoyed the cool, almost cold weather, napped, and got a lot of work done. I finally finished editing a tedious text on Hadrut Region, Karabakh. It needs a lot of polishing, as I have not gone back over it yet, but I put it online already so that people going there can have something to read about it... there is pretty much nothing available in English at this time. This still leaves 4 other regions of Karabakh for me to finish, but now that I have made some real progress I will be more motivated. The original text was over 50 pages and I edited it down to about 20, rewriting much of it and adding some directions. When I am completely finished I need to go back to Karabakh and visit many of these sites adding more specific directions, GPS coordinates and pictures.
Today will be a hectic day at work, so I am thinking of taking tomorrow off and maybe going out of town. I did not go to Ughtasar yesterday since I was still pretty beat from last weeks insane petroglyph hunt, but somewhere close would be nice.
Christine, an LA friend is in town visiting Armenia, getting her feel for the place and planning to move here some day. She is amazingly active, helping organize the April 24 march in Little Armenia, Hollywood, and showing how a couple of people can make a huge difference... Have I already written about her? If so, too bad, you're hearing it again! :-) But the reason I mention this is because this past weekend she met a pure American woman here by herself who likes it so much she has decided to stay! I look forward to meeting her, and in the meantime want to show how good a choice it can be to move here... irregardless of whether you are Armenian or not. She does not even speak the language yet! As I always say, Armenia is not for everyone, but it really is a great place for many people who can handle a slower pace of life, friendlier people, a nice little manageable city you can get around in on foot, an amazing countryside, yada yada yada. Alright, enough preaching for the day.
