Armenia 2006

I visited Armenia in September of 2006 for my friends' wedding, Edith and Gamer. They both live in California, but decided to get married in Yerevan. For many of their friends who had never been to Armenia, this was a great opportunity to visit the motherland! I have to say that I had a wonderful time, and was positively surprised by it -- though the country still has a lot of room for improvement. Unfortunately, I only spent one week there, so I did not have the chance to go to either Lake Sevan, Dilijan or Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabagh). But I will definitely go back! Enjoy the pics below and comments are welcome :)
