I'm back.
I just hadn't been in the mood to write since Lara and the kids have been away. Someone from California said how thrilled she was reading my logs and Raffi keeps hounding me, but most importantly, my family be back in 5 days, so here I am writing again.

Well. everybody knows how I love to dance, and last night I proved how much. Many of the repats had gathered at Arto Tuncbyajian's club to bid farewell to a very good friend of ours who'll be leaving to study in NY (I'm taking him to the airport in a few minutes – 5:50 a.m.). The music got intense, and I just couldn't sit straight anymore. It was a great night in Yerevan.

7:00 a.m. just came back from the airport. In about 2 hours I'll be heading out to Vartenis (Shatvan village) to visit the first LCO group who are renovating the village school. I will then take them through Kelbajar to Dadivank all the way to Shoushi to visit our second group who are working on renovations of the operating rooms of the Regional Hospital of Shoushi. There will be about 45 of us LCO people in Shoushi. We will meet up with some AVC, Assembly and ASA interns who will be arriving with the Birthright Armenia program. We will have a mega KEF near the Shoushi fortress.

That’s all for now.
