uncle raffi, sticks and stones may brake my bones, but words will never hurt me! especially because my vocabulary is limited to sit, bark, lay down and no.

i love yerevan this time of year. although it is not the best outdoor weather, we bundle up and go for walks... evening walks are one of the best things you can do in life.

i also love yerevan this time of year because i can see my friends, i have no tourists in town and there are so many great things to buy for the winter. for example... today i will go to the zatik orphanage to buy christmas cards. then i will go buy wool yarn to order knit sweaters for the winter... and tomorrow alex and i have a date to do some christmas shopping at the craft center. yipee

my parents called to see what i wanted from the states. i still can't think of anything i need from the states.
