The internet here is less than great so it took me forever just to post this so I combined 2 days. My allergies decided to show it's ugly head this morning. I thought I was able to escape them but they found me here on the 3rd morning.
Yesterday we went to venissage which is the big market in Yerevan. I found some prints my family MIGHT like so I will go back today and buy some. Lord help me if they hate them ... After the market we had some pizza (I know, eating Italian food in Armenia but they have really good pizza here!) We met up with Ben from Texas again and he had his friend Alex join us who is from LA and it turns out she was taught by Liz. Small world. She is here a couple of months and decided to work at one of the clubs. She figured she was going to be at the bar anyways might as well get paid for it. Smart.
After that Ashley and I ventured to the History Museum where most of the descriptions were not translated into English so we were left to imagine and fill in the blanks.
Took a quick break at the hotel where my ambitions at trying to post a blog were left unfulfilled. Ashley and I met with Ben again. He is becoming the third amigo of Yerevan so most of my stories will involve him now. We went searching for this one restaurant where Ashley was going to meet this Belgium lady she had met previously. Ended up at this fancy smancy place where they wouldnt let us in cause Ben wasnt wearing the proper clothing (he is a shorts and sandals guy) and it turned out she wasnt even there so we headed out to something more our style.
There are two bars we went to that I liked. One was Beatles themed and the other was more middle eastern with everyone sitting on the floor but they were playing an odd choice of music. Most of the tunes were Sting or The Police which I found very odd but totally interesting. We didnt stay long but I had fun.
Today, after my allergies feel like not being such a pain in the ass I will meet Ben and Ashley for Brunch. Ashley was up and running at 9:30 so she is going to a museum I wasn't super into going to to do some research while I get ready. I am going to try to post this now and suppressed my anger when the internet keeps telling me "no way". As an end to this story I lugged my Ipad to dinner and was very rude all to post this so I hope everyone enjoys!
