Last night I went to Kavkas (Causcasus) restaurant for the first time. The food was quite nice, the atmosphere good, the service friendly, the prices good... it was only a bit smoky for me is all. I had heard about that and Phonecia when I got back in April and although they are both quite nice, Phonecia is a few times more expensive.
Today has had a pretty funny start... I actually woke up thinking it is a work day, which never happens to me, but recovered in less than a minute from that nightmare :-) Then I headed for brunch with Shant, who is leaving soon and I can't believe how little I have seen of him, as well as so many of my other friends in Yerevan. So at brunch we run into everyone and their brother, or maybe I should say mother, since so many parents are visiting this week. And from there we go to look at an apartment, which we had to get the key for from Jeff, who is with my old 1994 co-volunteer in Armenia Sevane. Well I knew she was in town, but she mentioned that another co-volunteer from that summer was on her flight, Yervant, who I have not seen in 5 years and will give a hard time to for not warning me that he is coming. Then at Vernissage, we run into Stepan, who was the architect of our project when we were volunteering! So somehow the four of us will get together and have a mini reunion. After a hot trip to vernissage, I finally got my act together and bought a watermelon on my way home and have feasted on that as well.
So it seems that Rediscover Armenia's print run will sell out this month or next. If I am going to do a second edition, I have to really burn the midnight oil to have it ready anytime soon... somehow I doubt I will, but we'll see. Sometimes I just get a burst of energy for these projects. I know I will go on two more work trips which will eat up 6 days of my next month, I will move, there will be lots of visitors, etc, etc...
