Day 1: Our first night in Armenia! After 14 long hours on two planes: one from LAX, Los Angeles to Charles de Gaulle, Paris and another from Paris to Zvartnots, Yerevan, the group arrived in Armenia at approximately 9:30 p.m. We all received our visas, went through customs, and finally grouped up with the AMAA’s Representative in Armenia, Harout Nercessian. He welcomed us and we boarded our bus and were off to the Hotel Ani, where we all plopped down for a nice night of much needed rest after travelling.
