Day 86: Armenian History Museum

Today we slept in and took advantage of the resort breakfast buffet to stock up on lunch sandwich meats. The manager encouraged us to try local food to the region including black currants and imam bayildi; he also gave us the ingredients (egg plant, tomato, bell pepper, oil) and cooking technique (BBQ, Clean off the char, fry in a pan).

We drove back to Yerevan and Kieran felt under the weather so Mary headed to the Armenian History Museum. Armenia is one of the oldest civilizations of the world and the museum contained artifacts from the Stone Age and forward, including the world’s oldest shoe! Because of its geological location, Armenia has significant obsidian veins which were used for spears, weapons, and figurines.
