Friday was a great day. I took the entire afternoon off, bumping into one friend after another almost like a baton race, in a way that I can only imagine happening here.

Saturday morning started early, with me and Rene visiting a house being demolished for the new pedestrian blvd. There were a bunch of iris plants that we had decided to rescue. We dug up a ton of them, took a bunch and left a bunch of dug up ones for others to easily resue. This morning I planted a bunch of them out along the sidewalks here - I hope they survive. They are quite hardy, but they might need a little help with watering, something that would be very difficult for me to do from the 6th floor.

Mid-day Saturday was a human trafficking presentation, which I got to really late. There was a lot of talk about the case of the girl claiming to be abused by an Australian-Armenian family. The whole story sounded pretty fantastic to begin with, but the additional details shared today make the whole thing sound even more ridiculous. I don't know what really happened, but forced medical procedures in Australia, erased airline records across the planet, copies of identification records at the Armenian KGB gone, all just sounds like some crazy conspiracy theory to me.

Today we're off to the regions to look for antique furniture... I am keeping my fingers crossed!
