Read In to Armenia





Mt. Ararat and the Khor Virap Monastery 

The next adventure is Armenia! Finding guidebooks, maps, modern-day literature, movies, and even current event news from here in the States has not been the easy. But friends and colleagues who have experienced the pleasures of Armenia have been generous in their descriptions, recommendations, and connections. So far I have discovered more than enough to do, see, learn in the ten weeks I will be there with my sister Denise while she works on a Rule of Law project for USAID/ABA.

My predictions are: monastery visits, Mt. Ararat, cooking lessons, food market shopping joys, long walks and old churches, finding unusual to unique items to bring home (rugs anyone?), volunteering at the Women's Resource Center in Yerevan, and learning more about this very old, rich culture.
