My vacation to Armenia in 2006 was, for me, transformative in many ways. It was not an easy vacation – I did not (and still do not) speak Armenian or Russian. I also could not read the signs – the Armenian alphabet is unique and hard to puzzle out. While there, I picked up […] There were so many great things that I experienced in Armenia, that it’s difficult to talk about all of them in a sensible fashion.

I bought it in 2006 during my first visit to Armenia, when I was really enchanted with the Armenian Alphabet – when I bought and then foolishly gave away a […] Twenty-Sixteen is turning out to be a pretty hideous year on a number of fronts – it would be impossible to list all of the bad events – Orlando.
