Yerevan Yerevan I liked. Any city with a suburb called Massive Norks gets my vote. Buildings were a mix of Soviet grandeur, huge squares, like Opera Square, and Parisian looking tenements, all railings and roof gardens. Being March, and Armenia being south of Carlisle, I had expected balmy spring evenings but it was decidely parky, snow on the ground and a fierce wind blasting straight through us. Unfortunately, the heavy cloud meant there was to be no sighting of Mount Ararat, Armenia's spiritual home, now in Turkey. We were also to miss pretty much all of Yerevan's main sights, the Genocide Memorial, museums, as it was too cold and snowing too much to wander around outside. img=http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_h-6iHwbVZI/T619rHljeTI/AAAAAAAAARc/-RnCNYn4L24/s320/DSC05850
