What a fantastic weekend indeed. Starting off having dinner with some Aussie mates on Friday night, followed by the concert that Raffi N. mentioned. I was so impressed with Lilit’s voice that I bought her CD the following day (10,000 Drams).
Saturday was nice and relaxing, after breakfast and a short nap, I cleaned all the windows in my flat as well as the fly screens. With all the remond going on in the whole city, they were filthy! The only problem was that after I cleaned all, it rained so the cleanliness lasted one whole hour, oh well.
Sunday, I climbed Mt Aragats. I did it folks, all the places that were on my agenda are done. The climb took just over 2 hours and we went from an altitude of 1000 metres to almost 4000 metres and a huge drop in temperature. There was fresh snow on top, and I could see all the other peaks. Took a picture next to the Armenian flag on top but on that day I could not see Ararat. By the way I thought I was the only (khent) to climb it, but on the way up, met a couple from Munich and it was their first day in Armenia! They were very excited to climb this mountain since it’s a relatively easy climb in comparison to the Alps at the same altitude.
The evening was a big (kef) at the closing ceremony of the Pan Armenian games (I had to participate at one event).
So now that all the places I wanted to visit are over, I will take the next 2 weekends off to recover from all the battering I’ve endured over the last couple of months. Of course there are still further destinations that I wish to visit like Western Armenia, Javakh, Iran etc but they’ll have to wait. If anything I wouldn’t mind going to Karabagh sometime in the next couple of months since I haven’t been this year yet.
Regarding my work situation I’ll know hopefully by the end of this week whether I still have a job or not!!
