Last night Arto T was amazing. It was a full house with a 30-some LCO volunteers in the front row. Most of these volunteers hadn’t heard of the Armenian Navy Band – they were amazed. This was their first day returning from the village. Imagine after 3 weeks of roughing it with villagers and seeing nothing but calm landscapes of Sevan and the Keghama Mountains, they return to Yerevan and BANG! and Arto concert.
This July LCO had over 45 volunteers in Shoushi, Shatvan (Vartenis) and the Pilgrimage at St-Tade monastery in Iran. You can read their daily logs on the LCO website http://www.landandculture.org/.
The August group will arrive on the same night of the departure of the July group. There will be about 20 of them in August in Armenia with about 15 other going to Kessab, Syria.
As for summer in Yerevan in general, There are many open air concerts and events that Lara and I attend to with the kids. Tomorrow and Tuesday there will be concerts at the Cascade. Thursdays are “barsgahay” at the “Haghtanagi ayki”... last week we went to Tsapatagh for the weekend to attend a traditional celebration of Vartavar – the kids loved it!
