Catching up in Yerevan

Hello Gentle Readers

Feeling the L-O-V-E in Yerevan

We have been in Armenia for a couple of weeks and we have been really busy. We found an apartment and have been focussed very much on getting settled in at work.

We are both going to be working at CIS Armenia which is a Cambridge International School. Everyone there is very friendly and we are looking forward to seeing kids on September 2nd.

Robert is very keen to start school and he has a male teacher, Mr Gordon, who he is keen to meet and start learning from.

Last weekend I was unwell so we didnt really go anywhere apart from a shop called Vega Home and we bought some stuff for the house.

This weekend we decided to go to one of Yerevan's most iconic sights the Cascade.





The Cascade is a series of steps that goes up a steep hillside in Yerevan that gives amazing views of Mount Ararat and the city. As you walk up the cascade you are treated to a wonderful series of modern art pieces. Some of the pieces are located outside and some are under the stairs in a series of mini exhibitions.







It was exceptionally hot today so climbing the steps was hard going but the view was definitely worth the exertion.







We bought ballet tickets for Khachaturian's Gayene on the 14th September and we enjoyed a delicious dinner at Cactus, Yerevan's best Tex-Mex restaurant.

I will keep posting so keep reading.
