I am in Yerevan, Armenia. My son Shant has been here for two weeks working as a counselor at a camp for orphans in Tzadadzor north of Yerevan. He is with three of his friends from the U.S. and we are now touring Armenia for a week before coming home. Yesterday I took the Metro (subway) to my favorite monument: Sassountsi Tavid (David of Sassoun).
The hotel we are staying at is called the Villa Delenda. It is a small rustic bed and breakfast (with Wifi and AC!) Its in downtown Yerevan. Check it out at at www.villadelenda.com
Most of the hotel guests are from Europe and many are not Armenian. It is fascinating talking to these people who have come here and why. Most are amazed of the richness of the culture.
