Small world! Small world! small world! Yesterday morning, I was going about my business getting a tea to start my day. Who do I see on the way out but Anna and Jason. I had to do a double take to make sure I wasn't at the AVC office. What a nice surprise that was. We caught up a bit. Apparently they were in town just for a little while and were heading back to Armenia just hours later. Oh, what a refreshing surprise. It tops off my earlier morning experience of having an old woman get out of her car to come over to mine to yell at me for cutting her off, when actually it was the gentleman infront of her that let me in. I yelled back. YES, I started my day telling off an old woman and I'm proud. She was asking for it.

So the day continued and I was passing through the ARS office only to find Shakeh, the owner of Artbridge in Yerevan, chatting with the ARS ladies. Again, I had to do a double take (this time especially since it was a group of them sitting around drinking Armenian coffee... much like a normal scene at Artbridge). Another pleasant surprise. I appreciated her encouragement for me to move to Armenia and start a business.

Later that day I attended an Assembly event. I have been freelancing for the Armenia Tree Project for years, so I accompanied the staff. I was introduced to someone in my industry and told her I was in Armenia for 6 months. Her husband asked, "Oh, do you know Armen and Kohar? Kohar is my niece." The world just keeps getting smaller.

Just another day in the life of Watertown!
