WATER WATER everywhere WATER!!!
Today is Vartivar. It is a big day in Armenia. Most Armenians know about this holiday. People throw water at one another� I forget the real meaning behind it all. Anyhow. My day started at 9 a.m. I met up with the LCO guys to send them off to Echmiadzin and Khor Virab. After they left, I went about doing some LCO business. On my way, I passed by the Hin Yerevan restaurant. About 15 20-some year olds were running around throwing water on the passers by. I made a point to cross the street� I guess they noticed me. The rest is all a blur. I was wet from head to toe. I decided not to take this lightly. I went to the store and bought myself a mini-bucket. I joined in on the fun. On my way to meet Lara and her parents, I met up with 2 very interesting characters. They were a couple� both poets. They recited some of their work. It was great. Their names are Gor and Arpine. Then I met up with Anna from the H1 station (public TV). Tomorrow at 9:30 a.m. Armenia time, some of our volunteers will appear on the morning show. I think this show is broadcast almost everywhere where there is an Armenian TV cable. Watch them!

I LOVE ARMENIA!!
