Tark's in town
I'd heard from a couple of ppl that Jerry Tarkanian was in town, and sure enough, there he was at the Marriot Cafe yesterday having a drink and people watching. His interactions here must be refreshing for him since probably without exception locals don't know who he is. I wanted to take a pic to post here, but I hate to bug people, so I passed on this one.
The heat wave here continues. I don't know if it's supposed to let up or not, but I've been going to a pool to cool off. It is amazing how much of a difference a pool makes, the summers here are always quite hot (though usually not this hot until later in the summer). I know Armenia needs all kinds of other things at this time, but I must also argue that building a bunch of public swimming pools throughout Yerevan would raise the quality of life here immeasureably! :-)

that's exactly what I thought. Have you seen any of the broken down old Russian ones. There is one on top of Raykom street, the one that arcs left and starts to head out towards sevan, and the other way goes to Zeytun. And I also remember seeing one on the metro but going down towards, garegin njzdehi exit, the last one. There I saw one from out the windows.
Isn't that what the Waterworld is for?
Or the fountains at the Hanrapetoutian Hraparak :)?
Rather hard heat and not much swimmingpools... we now understand the reason why so much children jump so often in fountains or various waterpoints of Erevan, whereever they are.
At least, children have that liberty !
