Today, our plan was to go to the Zoo. But when we woke up at 9:30, the heavy rain was a definite sign for us to cancel these plans… what to do in Yerevan when it is raining?
What about the circus? After a few phone calls, we found out that there would be a show at 1:00 and at 5:00. We quickly got dressed and off to the circus we went. The Yerevan circus was hosting the professional circus crew from Moscow.
It was raining hard. There was a long line to get in. I asked the lady at the door where we can buy our tickets. She told me to bring my people and she would get us in with the best seats in the house. Minutes later we were seated.
The show was really nice. The hall needed some touching up (hint hint Mr. Kirkoryan). The best act though was a 14 year old girl from Yerevan. She was a contortionist who had won gold medals all over the state and Russia. SHE WAS GREAT!
There were clowns and an Armenian couple from Russia who carried trays filled with filled wine glasses…. 120! World Guinness record in 2000.
We are now at home. Some friends will be over in a few hours to have madzunov koftayi abour (that’s yogurt soup with kofta balls).
Even rainy days in Yerevan are fun and spontaneous!
