a couple days before, we were all about to leave the house when the sound of the heavens falling down hit us and we looked outside to see golfball sized hail falling down. naturally, pictures followed, including this one!
So a brief recap- since being in armenia i've already got lost twice, caught in a massive hailstorm, crashed a birthday party, befriended a bookie...and its not even the weekend yet!!!!!!! Yesterday was a particularly interesting day as after class and an art museum, a couple of us went home to shower. alas, the water pressure was broken, but luckily we have a dungeon pit of a pool that we hosed down in, ice cold style. after, we went out to get a bite to eat, and ended up sitting in on some kids birthday, and proceeded to have armenian-american dancefest 2009. we went out to republic square to catch a daily sound and light show, but it was not dark enough so we spent some time at a hookah bar up the street. afterwards we walked by the light show again which is incredible! we made our way back home and ended up hanging by a playground near our place, only to encounter "valee" the local bookie who wishes to improve upon his english. after discussing all the curse words in armenian, he proceeded to show us his betting area, which will surely become the new party pad. needless to say, sleep was well deserved that night.
love, peace and elbow grease
