I am enjoying a quiet evening at home, with just my boyfriend and our two cats (one of the cats is jumping all over my laptop while writing this. I have to push him off every minute or so). I have had a very busy social couple of days behind me, and I need to 'recover' from that. It started last Thursday when we celebrated (???) St. Patrick's Day at Cheers. Well, celebrate? Last time I 'celebrated' St. Pat's was when I was studying in the US over a decade ago. For me, it was just a nice reason to go out and party a bit. ;-)
Then, on Saturday we went to Spitak for a few days, catching up with friends. For my boyfriend it was the first time in Spitak, so he was looking forward to meet my friends there. We socialized heavily for a few days, but it was fun. We had a good time. On Saturday we started with a barbecue at IATP Spitak Site and SpiTux computer center, where I worked as a volunteer a couple of years ago. It was good to see 'the gang' again. I love coming back there and spending time with my friends. Every time I go there, it feels like coming home. Later, on Saturday evening we went for coffee at a family I am friends with, but we ended up staying for almost four hours! Sunday we spent with my friend H. and her family. We sat and ate and drank and talked (and laughed!) for most of the afternoon and evening, and a good part of Monday as well! Later I visited some other friends, spending the evening talking and eating semochki (sunflower seeds). H. lives in one of the small villages near Spitak. A few months ago a new church was opened in the village, which we visited on Saturday. It's a nice church. H. told me it was built by some maffioso. I guess he had a conscience to clear...
I came back today to a snowy Yerevan, with the snow getting worse in the course of the day. I guess we won't have noon coffee on our balcony again any time soon while enjoying the view of both Ararat and Aragats. On the opposite, while writing this, it is getting foggier and foggier and I can't even see the opposite side of the gorge and the bridge next to our apartment any more. I heard the snowy weather will last for at least the next couple of days. Hmmmm......
