Our Neighborhood

Our front yard

We were given the choice of where we wanted to live.  This apartment was used by the couple that we replaced.  It is about an hour from our office.  We commute by Metro (underground subway) and trolley bus.  The modern part of Yerevan is a very small part of the city.  Most of Yerevan looks just like our neighborhood. We wanted to get a feeling for what life is like in this city.  We really love it here.  We are very close to the Metro station and there are a ton of small stores and shops in our area.  We are still discovering where to buy the things that we need.  The one thing that we don't have in abundance here in our part of town are restaurants.  But with the Metro so close, we can very easily get to the areas where they are.  We eat dinner with the other Senior Missionaries frequently.  So it works.  There were only the four little boys when we took this picture, but there had been 12 boys and girls just a little earlier.  The pool out back is used for swimming by the children on a hot day.  We have no idea what its intended use was.
