... se odvézt do vedlejšího města Garni, kde stojí helenistický chrám původně z 1. století. Cestou jsme si koupili nejhnusnější pití výpravy - na obalu nějaká tráva, voní to jako zkažené broskve a chutná to ještě hůř. Helenistický chrám byl výjimečný v několika věcech - poprvé jsme v Arménii zažili nutnost zaplatit vstupné a v celém komplexu (kolem byl park) hrála z několika des ...

... 357; zlepšila na příšernou a naházením chleba do toho mixu (hrozný pohled) jsme dosáhli chuti už jen hrozné. Největší gastrošok od té doby, co jsem začal chodit na obědy k Huderům (zasvěcení vědí). Ještě že Lukáš nedojedl ani polívku, ani následující jídlo neznámého názvu, které si v menu vylosoval a vyklubal se z toho kus hovězího s hranolkama z friťáku s dlouho nem&#283 ...

... br> Armenia has a well-known ski resort. So if you like to ski or practice other winter sports, you&#8217;re welcome here. The town named Tsakhkadzor is a famous ski-resort in this region.

... traditional Turkish hospitality'? Let's make a deal- if Israel gives back Gaza, then Turkey gives back western Armenia, okay? No, Islamistan doesn't want to talk about that, the transgressions of the last great Islamic empire, the same one that opened up Palestine for colonization by European Jews in the first place. They knew what happened when Mexico opened up Texas to Americans. No, we won't talk about any of that; we'll just each ...

... 9.30am, we are having breakfast at our house and then off to the market again, and then the National Folk Art Museum. We are all going out for a meal shortly. Much Love from us both -we are both having an awesome time, this has to be the most amazing experience ever.

... outside. Fascinatingly beautiful decoration on the walls. People are also fine. There is a Australian architect getting inspired for a newly built church and his son, an astronomer, being frenzy about taking pictures of everything. He has also set of paired synchronized cameras to make stereogram photos! Then there's a lonely traveller trekking over wastelands. Surprised at the beauty around, I'm contemplating how to explore this region a bit more... ...and I meet a Czech couple, Mirek ...

... that the Armenians weren't just victims but were also fighters, with some 150,000 soldiers fighting alongside Russia of the Triple Entente against the Ottomans. The Turkish government thus labeled them as terrorists, with most casualties described as soldiers, though the museum showed that women and children were starved and thrown into the Syrian deserts without food or water. But even after the war, the Turkish government was strong enough to convince the ...

... closer to home than before. And the fact that my 1995 home-stay mom Kamo just purchased a cell phone (though admittedly the service is relatively cheap compared to most inexpensive Asian countries we went to, not to mention North America of course) means she is in a better and happier place than she used to be. Slowly but surely, right? SIGH...NEVERTHELESS I did love hearing and seeing my language. Each time I heard conversation, I was ...

Please accept our apologies for missing an entry yesterday! We were doing so well about keeping up on entries, but life gets crazy when you're in a different country and living based on God's will. That's exactly how the last couple days have been. Yesterday, May 14, we had another great time of worship in the morning before setting off for the day to Gyumri, the second largest city in Armenia only to Yerevan. The bus ride was once again rather long, but it was a good time ...
