To the countryside...

I've been back almost a month, and still havn't made it out of Yerevan. Well, today's the day! And it's an overnighter. I'm off to Yeghegnadzor to visit a repatriate who's living out there, bought a house, and spends much of his year there. I like the town, love the area (wine country, lots of great hikes, monasteries, fortresses, caves...), and am just looking forward to some fresh air and peace and quiet. Plus I'm taking along some sweet corn seeds, sweet potatoes, some of the hardy kiwis I've grown from seed and which need good homes now, plus other seeds. I'll have to visit in the fall to enjoy some of the harvest :-)

Speaking of plants though, if anyone is coming soon and would be willing to bring some small plants, please let me know. There are a couple more varieties of plants I'd like to see here. They'd be very light and very small (no soil, just some moss for the roots) and they'd be mailed right to you).

Lots of interesting news this week - yesterday I saw that ArmenTel is for sale, I really hope someone decent buys it and finally offers high speed internet for a reasonable price.
