Near our hotel (everything in downtown Yerevan is 'near'), is the Vernissage open market filled with numerous diverse stalls selling crafts, carpets, jewelry, CDs, clothing, and so forth. |
I purchased a hand-painted scarf, a modern silver bracelet, wooden earrings, and several CDs of traditional Armenian music, including a mass from Komitas. The songs of Aznavour were heard at several stalls. | I did not expect this. Old coins and medals, sure, cameras, yes, but microscopes? | Did you notice the sidewalk? | A great variety of tempting stuff. | The sidewalk is rug row. |

An entire block. |
Across the street are these examples of modern and traditional buildings. |
What at first seem two types of buildings proved to be a hybrid. |
An usually dark hued building with columns and balconies. | Fantastically carved front with ironwork. | Our last dinner in a basement restaurant. |

Inside a tube.

A long, long table.
|
In a park is this replicated cross-stone and
this carved symbol of eternity. Armenia forever!
