Summer in Yerevan
I have pretty much been over the moon because of the fact that I'm spending the summer in Armenia. My day-to-day existence has suffered, since all I can think about is Yerevan in all its wonder. I visit often, so I still remember my city well and have been in every imaginable historical site outside of Yerevan, but I can't help but notice every single summer that Yerevan isn't nearly the same place I leave after each trip. New sites, cafes, bookstores, and other establishments spring up on every turn. Yerevan is changing, and I seriously can't keep up with it from the villages of Alabama.
So, I have a plea. Please please please tell me some of your favorite places in Yerevan so I can put them on my gargantuan to-do/see list. I have all the musts down--Cascade, Opera, Paplovok, puppet theatre, etc.--but have a small understanding of where to seek actual Yerevanian fun. (It does not help that the younger me was really nerdy and spent excessive hours in the museums downtown.)

My favorite day trip in Yerevan was a visit to the Zoravar Church and then over to the Blue Mosque. They are both located on beautiful patches of land in the middle of the city and are must sees. Later that day I took a cab a bit south to see the Komitas Pantheon as well.
