what a great surprise... i get to log about the hrashk of a performance that we saw last night. although i saw most of the loggers there... i guess i beat everyone to it on the logs, what a feeling!!!

the pari pedakan ensemble (national dance ensemble) had their performance last night. it was pure magic... and i was so proud to be armenian... so proud to be present... and so proud of our culture and heritage. i remember turning to alex... and saying... all my negative thoughts of living here or being here (and there are not that many)... just flew out the window. these beautiful young adults reminded me how amazing and ancient we are... and how much of our culture is at our fingertips. lena was so moved i think i saw a tear :o)

the costumes and the young ladies were beautiful. the young men floored me with their talent, and their overall spirit. A night to remember, and a night that gave me such a rush... that i am still dancing in my head. neadless to say... my usual morning dance was full of color and spirit.

my daddy will be here in 24 hours so i am doing what any normal daughter would do. rushing to fix all the broken and out of order things in my house and life... making his favorite meal... and planning an interesting three days. i am so excited to see him... as i miss him tremendously. my parents are amazing people... and any chance to spend time with them is great.

a sure fire sign that spring is around the corner is the preparatory work that the cascade gardening staff is doing on the flowerbeds... i can't wait till the cascade is dressed in all her beautiful colors and flowers... one of the most beautiful spots in all of yerevan...

so where are the rest of the performance reviews?
