I love reading your articles Kristi, always awaiting some kind of inspirational quote you so aptly snug in, sometimes overtly sometimes not so.
As for this partiular article, a knock can just be a knock and expecting it to be something else can really lead to disappointment. So instead of waiting for it patiently, I’d rather find a knock on a daily basis and enjoy it, even if it is a nanosecond long.
On Armenian Weekly, your writings, Kristi, are always interesting and I love reading about your thoughts and experience in Armenia. Enjoy your trips and keep us posted about your new adventures. You have a good way of expressing scenery and events.
Dear Ms. Rendahl,how so much I felt you were talking ab.my experiences this summer(august) in Armenia.I am loquacious,I love people and obviously it is so easy to get them in Armenia more so in the villages.Our group was myself,a friend of mine and a friend of my friends from Vermont,an anthropologist on a project.We have done the craziest thing,we visited Akhtala twice within one week and I would say it was one of the best things I have done of my two months stay in Armenia.Hope to meet you one day,as I visit Armenia once a year whenever possible.Enjoy Armenia as there is so much to explore in a small historical country,and I should admit we felt so safe ……cordially Sona simonian
