This maybe quite premature, but since it is still light at 6:20, and it felt like the warmest day this year, and sunny, and most of the snow laying around has melted, it really felt like winter is wrapping down. Okh, I can't wait for spring. All week I was adjusting to the time again, so I was always sleepy and work was very hectic. The weekend though has been just great. Much of the days have been spent wandering around the city with friends, and bumping into friends. Last night was "Burns Supper", a kind of memory to a rather colorful Scottish poet. It was a really big and fancy affair, and after somehow being dragged into some Scottish dance which was pretty fun (they were teaching you as you dance - about a hundred people must have been up there) somehow (a few servings of beer, wine and whiskey maybe?) I ended up dancing way more than I normally would. It is apparently an international event, and thousands of people around the world were doing the same things to raise funds for local causes. In this case a baby incubator in Agarak (near Meghri) and a van for handicapped kids in Yerevan to get to school.

Now I am off to try Mr. Toaster on Koryun near Grand Candy - the newest joint in town. It is an American style submarine sandwich place, something new for Yerevan. Tomorrow, back to work, but it is only a 4 day week... Wednesday is Armenian Army Day!

Now, where are the other loggers?!?!
