Rocky Walks
Each and every night Rocky (my dog) and I go on these long walks around the city. I have this same route that I do with him every single day - up Sayat Nova, over on Mashdots, down Amirian towards Republic Square, and up Abovian Street towards my house.
In this short distance it is AMAZING how often the scenery changes. I discovered today Salt Sac is gone... when did I miss this?
Ate at an amazing Indian restaurant (Tandoori) tonight. The service is great - but ever more interesting was seeing the owner/waiter interact with the locals in Armenian!!! The place was packed with a mix of foreigners and locals and does considerably well. Apparently it's been around for a while - yet it happened to be my first time visiting in my three years here.
Went to a wedding on Saturday. There may be no better business to be in than the wedding business. The ceremony started at a small church located very close to Opera. In the ten minutes I was there I saw four brides. One was leaving the Church after a short ceremony; one bride was entering the Church; another was waiting immediately outside the Church waiting her turn; while the final bride had come a few minutes earlier and therefore second in line to enter the Church... How long are Armenian weddings in the US these days?
Not much else to report. I'm loving the weather these days!

Nice to see Armenians have an English taste in cuisine like my boyfriend Dom ( http://dommynicius_weird.blogspot.com )Please visit his site and leave an Armenian flag ... BTW where is Armenia?
Hmmm, can't say I understand the comment above... is it just an unrelated plug?
Arina - there's a new indian place on Tumanian near the corner of Mashdots by the Opera called New Delhi. Also quite good.
Where did the Salt Sack go? What's in it's place now?
In Glendale...Armenian weddings are scheduled at 30 minute intervals, no late arrivals tolerated. The ceremony itself lasts exactly 20 minutes. Photos in front of the alter, only if the people attending the wedding sit there and watch. so...no going back into the church for photos.
I've been forced into the wedding planning process by WAYYY TOO MANY COUSINS, and I won't do it anymore. arghh.
just curious...what church was the wedding, and where was the reception?
do they do weddings during the week?
tanya they do weddings on any day it seems.
Walked by Salt Sack tonight, looks like it's a small restaurant now, with some souvenirs being sold in the back room.
Although Salk Sack had some nice stuff, I always thought it was WAY TOO EXPENSIVE.
