Prrroblem chi ka!

= no problem!

After relaxing for a bit on Monday and getting a $25 1-hour massage, yesterday was dedicated to exploring the various landscapes of Armenia. The drive, as Noush describes, is like being on Highway 5, but nicer. Our first stop was Tsakhadzor, where we rode ski lifts to the top of the mountain and had an amazing view of all the mountainous plains. Then we went Lake Sevan and hung out on various shores. The water felt nice. Mikey jet skiied. There were some really nice hotels there too with private bungalows. We climbed over 300 steps to overlook Sevan, and let me tell you, it's massive! You can't see the ends, even from that high up. Then we went to Dilidjian and visited what has been my favorite church thus far, as well as Parz Leedj (Clear Lake). It was gorgeous, but not so clear. The one thing I've realized after yesterday is Armenia is THE BEST PLACE for picnics, camping, and hiking. I can't wait to do that next time. Now I understand why the Armenians in G-dale flood the parks every weekend- they're trying to relive their days in the Motherland!
