... vání světelných mečů. Po prošmejdění jeskyní a skal za řekou, která klášter obléhala, jsme se vrátili na cestu a tam si od trhujících babiček koupili věc, která vypadá jak hovno na provázku (nějaké ořechy zalité v želatině - na provázku). Žádná sláva. Zalezli jsme k řece dát si salám s chlebem a slyšíme, jak po cesté přijíždí nějaký idiot, co asi dvě minuty ...

... tak půlkou názvů přeložených do angličtiny. Nejdřív si Dolda s Petrem dali místní tradiční polévku s kefírem - byla dobrá a Dolda sněd kroupy (většinu) i když je nejí. Lukáš zase zkusil tradiční ruskou Salyanku. Polívek bylo tolik, že jsme po jejich snědení byli prakticky po obědě. Naštěstí. Schylovalo se totiž k největší gastronomické katastrofě na ...

... only run on weekends, several days away, and I've already done the milk-run. So I ultimately just chill, buy a weekend ticket to Turkey, make vague plans to go Cappadocia on the way to Cyprus, and start ironing out some details on the Scandinavia segment of my trip. Life's *********ely Planet says Tbilisi is the nicest of the Caucasian capital cities, but I don't know. Eravan seems pretty nice, what with all the parks, dancing water ...

... Later in the day we came to Junko and the kids, the taxi driver got lost, but we did a get a look around -Julian flying to Paris. We are going on another tour, Julian is sorting it, this time to a collection of old churches etc. The wine is very different here, Marion and I are having G &amp; T before retiring, we are both sleeping, and I don't have black bags under my ...

... the way the brandy rolls down the sides of the glass slower and slower as it ages. The factory also has a storage of barrels that it gives to world leaders when they visit. Apparently, I missed the Russian president Medvedev by one week - his barrel was in there signed by him with a big "Spasibo" (Thank you) written on the top. The Baltic presidents were there, as well as Putin and Yeltsin. The company also puts out scales whenever a leader visits, and invites ...

... so I climb the huge Cascade (monument to 50 years of Soviet Armenia) being guarded and cleaned by tens of people. But no luck again, just mist. This day I plan to see Khor Virap and Noravank, two monasteries south of Yerevan. It's a bit uncomfortable to get there by public transport and I decide to take an organized trip by Hyur Tours (8000AMD) [yes...].

... of her past as well as the past of the Armenian people, who no longer live in their historical homeland of over three thousand years, in Western Turkey, beginning with the Bronze Age people and land called the Nairi, predecessors of the Urartu, considered the original Armenians. Ararat Brandy names its finest 20-year old oak cask aged bottles after this land, located around present-day Van. Two photographs in the museum show the Armenian city of Van before and ...

... in Yerevan, and possibly nearby cities if they are lucky. Armenians even in Yerevan still don't appear to make a regular salary and the figures sound only absurd to our ears, but with this aspiration to be European, costs are also gradually reaching European pricing...must it be that the apparently corrupt government representative's children are the ones living it up at the packed cafes every night?

... of what is good and important. I don't know if this making any sense... I know that this trip has impacted all of us so deeply and I hope you all have gotten a glimpse into that through these blogs. Pray for us as we depart for London that we will enjoy the time together without the responsibilites of our mission work here, but at the same time that we will not forget the burden God has put on our ...
