Photo Time!

Life is getting busy so I haven't had much time to write.  I figured I'd instead post some photos of some recent events (especially for the non-Facebookers).  Enjoy!

 Shore Country Day School in Armenia.  If it weren't for Sash (who told me about Birthright) I wouldn't be here! If you look closely at the left you can spot Mt. Ararat.


 A quick visit to Parz Lich on our last excursion.  The ice really put a damper on the paddle boating.


 To all you osprey lovers, check this out!  I've noticed these nests are actually fairly common in some areas outside of Yerevan.  I'm told they're storks.


 Last Sunday we visited my host mom's family in their village about an hour north of Yerevan.  The previous Thursday was a holiday known as Trndez in the Armenian Church, so we had our own belated celebration.  On this day people jump over a fire to rid themselves of sins.  We certainly had some fun while we were at it!
 Some post fire jumping dancing.

Noravank -- one of the many monasteries we've visited on our Saturday excursions.  This one dates back to the 13th century.
