... that could cripple me, literally. Are those beers I drank in Ethiopia going to come back and haunt me? What can go wrong next? Plenty of things can go wrong next. For one thing, bus terminals here in Tbilisi aren't exactly full-fledged affairs with platforms and loudspeakers and latte' on the mezzanine. No, they're more like a vacant lot where mini-buses to similar locations agree to congregate. There are some larger buses of course, but ...

... all laughed a lot . Marion/Julian and Chloe are away to a fabric shop, I may be able to post some photos , as Julian has uploaded many We have been watching CNN news and the Swine Flu looks alarming, I see Auckland Airport is heavily screening!!, may have to stay in Armenia.

... I stayed in Yerevan for an evening to pick up some things I had left at the homestay there and to just have a break between marshrutka rides. The taxi ride from the bus station to the apartment resulted in another bit of scream therapy for Mary. As the taxi approached my building, I pointed to it and said, "There it is." The driver said okay, he was going to turn around when he got the chance. Well, he went 3 blocks down, pulled over, and started to pull my ...

When I arrive in Yerevan, I took a taxi to the hostel/gueshouse. The taxi ride almost took longer than the ride to Yerevan itself- I had to supress my homicidal urges. Every block the driver would get out and ask a pedestrian the way. Hmm, I'm new to this town, but if my address is 5 Sayat Pova ...

... At the way back Sako asks for 14000AMD since he thought 7000AMD just for one way. Hmm. I put forward that I could take a 6pm train, which would be in half an hour. But unfortunately it's already 6.30pm since in Armenia it's one hour later due to daylight saving time...ooh. Then we somehow agree on 10000AMD. In Alaverdi we stop by a unremarkable church with the mine in the near background (which looks funny). And what a chance, a black car full of priests stop by and as the main ...

... near Sevanavank Monastery. We talked about his visit and his hopes to one day return to his family's home (he is allowed to go to Turkey--but not Azerbaijan--though the borders between Turkey and Armenia are tightly sealed). On another day, a friendly man was fixing the lock of the apartment. We talked; he was from Baghdad and left because the situation has deteriorated. His wife and children are now in California, he said. He described the situation. "When the ...

... the spear that pierced Christ's side but notthis year as it is on display at the Louvre in Paris. Arriving in time to experience the Armenian Orthodox mass, there was a procession of priests, monks, bishops, archbishops, a visiting Catholic cardinal, and the Catholicos. The Catholicos is the head of the Armenian Orthodox church and he walked within armslength of me while Tom went right up to him and received a blessing! Imagine getting this close to ...
