The Ayroum trip didn't pan out today...these things happen in Armenia. (I'm surethey happen elswhere as well, but we like to always remind ourselves of the fact that these things happen in Armenia) I was ready at 8. The driver didn't call to tell me that he was having problems with the car. After waiting until 8:45, I called and he said he will be here soon... 9:20, 9:30... finally I called and he said that he was having car trouble and he doesn't think that he can make it.... WHAT??? So I simply took things as they were. No losing my cool, I thought of it as a great opportunity to catch up on some of my paperwork.
At lunch time, I met up with a group of friends from Montreal who are leaving tonight... I will miss ANNA the most. She is Amassia's Godmother. She is like our younger sister. She was in town with some scout group to do some work on the rehab center. She stayed a bit longer with her boyfriend and brother. She is totally "repat" material.
OK, lunch at Artbridge... you all know Artbridge by now. We were sitting with these friends at a very long table with Sylvie K and Sam and others when in comes Rafi K, Lena M and Alex S, all fellow loggers. This was a great reunion. I had missed them all. I had practically not seen them all summer. I saw Raffi at Varanta's baptism and Alex at his appartment once, while picking up a parcel.
