... get into a little routine of noodles and eggs, fruits and vegs, cheese and bread. I get way caught up on Internet and write another album review for the mother blog. Finally I even take a 'village tour' to see the master duduk maker and drink some homemade vodka. We eat lunch out there, but it's no great shakes cuisine-wise, mostly variations on bread and diary, our common Indo-European heritage, if there is such a thing. Every thing's ...

... the brownish see dotted by rare green spots of vegetation. We even stop for some wine tasting and couple of minutes later also at some restaurant to order lunch (not inclusive). And then the bus starts to climb an unearthly beautiful canyon towards Noravank. And even more fun, the new tire explodes again;). Now the organised tour starts to disorganize.

As with every border crossing up to this point as soon as we arrived it started to rain. The border here was nothing more ...

... speak the language. BUG ALERT Who said there are no roaches in Yerevan? I saw a big black one in our brand new hostel bathroom. Needless to say I began to have images again, like in Asia, of these insects crawling in my bed while I couldn't sleep at night. For the record, we didn't even see any on the streets so it was definitely a one-time sighting. LANDSCAPE Ahh, the beautiful country of Armenia, mountains/hills, and our Ararat Mountain, of course... :)

... a life of instability in an orphanage! We were then able to share the shoeboxes with these little ones. For me, one of the best moments at the orphanage was seeing the joyful expression on the face of a little blind boy when we tickled hi face with a soft stuffed dog. He seemed to love it, and I know I loved watching his face light up each time we would hand that toy back to him. All too soon, we were rushed off to dinner at a pizza restaurant. I felt that we could have ...
