We were in Armenia
Christmas, New Year and Sourp Dzenunt in ARMENIA!
... lots of food, more food and then some more food. This is the best ay to describe the celebrations is Armenia. Our celebrations began as early as Dec 24 when Lara and I hosted a Christmas eve dinner at our place with friends from all over. Unfortunately some had left town to meet family and relatives "back home". We had organized gift exchange games and other party favorites such as Twister and Gestures (girls against boys). We then had a great New Year's eve with some close friends spent at home. Santa arrived with all the gifts a kid could want. Celebrations continued on Hrabarag. On the 6th, we went to Sourp Krikor Church (the big one on Tigran Mets).
It was great to have some friends from Montreal and LA who had decided to spend their holidays in Armenia. It seems like this is becoming a trend. It could actually be the beginning of a winter tourism season. I know for a fact that the Dzaghgatsor resort is already reserved for next year. It was completely booked this year. We know since we had some friends of friends who came over from Lebanon for one week to spend the New Years in Armenia.
Next year, I know that there will be new attractions both in Yerevan and outside of the Capital.
Here's to a healthy year ahead. Looking forward to seeing many friends and family this year... in Armenia!
