finding a ticket out of here a struggle. arthur and i are trying to leave for the month of august and finding two normal tickets that do not entail twidling our thumbs at any given airport for over 8 hours is a challenge. as my plans develop i will let you know.

tourists have me on a leash shorter than ozzie's. i have (and i know that sarcasm brings laughs and makes things interesting... but i am not exaggerating here) over 40 tourists visiting yerevan. they all want a peice of me and i can't take it anymore. i want winter to come so i can be alone to drink hot chocolate at art bridge and sit next to my heater... begging for summer. what a twisted world, the world of four seasons.

work is great, home is great, ozzie is the best. she has already learned and adapted to us and the most amazing thing is that arthur has adapted to her. i never thought he would but he really appreciates ozzie and what puppy power she has.

i hope everyone is having an amazing summer. i will write from my journeys abroad and let you know how it goes. by the way, this will be my first summer away from armenia in eight years. how sad.
