Day 2 of our Armenian architecture death march leisurely exploration was actually our third day in Armenia. Our second day we kept to ourselves, and explored Yerevan on foot and via its super-awesome, and super-secret metro. We wanted to love Yerevan, but the feeling wasn’t super mutual – so Yerevan was a rough go for us. But that’s a story for another time.
Right now, though, it’s time to get pumped up – it’s time for more churches! Boom, bam, pow! Church time!
While I was browsing my favored geography/travel news related outlets this morning, I happened upon a slideshow of the new UNESCO world heritage sites for this year. I used to pay a lot more attention to the UNESCO lists than I do today – when I was younger, UNESCO’s curated lists seemed to apply more to my travel style than they do now. That said, looking through the list of 2015 inscriptions was a bit surprising to me – included were several places I would have never thought of as being UNESCO World Heritage material.
I am recently engaged. On our last trip (in Istanbul, Turkey and the South Caucasian nations of Georgia and Armenia), I proposed to my soon to be husband David. What’s more exciting about the marriage and party, however, is clearly the honeymoon. I’ve never been one to care at all about the romantic implications of a wedding ceremony, and have certainly been to enough of them to know what I do and don’t like, and so David and I have used travel as an excuse to not really have a wedding ceremony at all – instead we’re putting some of that dough toward the honeymoon of our dreams and a lot toward paying down the principal owed on our house.
