I'm baaaack! Well life is just about back to normal for me, except of course that Zabel is still in NYC. I am back in my old pad, computer is reconstructed and online, jet lag is over, slowly catching up with old friends, and work starts monday. What a difference from NYC...
Today I had lunch with Davit and Lala at Malibu Cafe, near my house. The weather was very nice, the tuna melt was very impressive, and I look forward to all the cafes being open late into the night so I won't have to think about smoky restaurants. I did learn that Twinings on Abovyan has a non-smoking room which we visited and it was not bad. I believe it is Yerevan's first, not counting the 3 tables at Artsbridge which accomplish little in avoiding smoke.
I had reverse sticker shock when I got here. Things are sooo cheap, especially compared to NYC. The tuna melt was $1, and the half liter of mineral water was $.25 This is a situation I am happy to adjust to.
Tomorrow, May 1 is a national holiday. May Day/Labor Day means I will not be able to get some of the errands I wanted to done. Oh well, another day.
We have some positive news about the summer house we have been in the process of buying for 6 months now... hopefully next week we do the paperwork!!! Then in a few weeks to a month it will be ours. Of course now with strict office hours, it will be much harder for me to spend time there, but luckily it rains a lot in Lori and so I won't have to be there to water all the time.
