We made it!

After 25 hours of flights, we have finally arrived in Kars! It is so good to be here with our new Armenian and Turkish friends. After everyone arrived and got settled we met for a beautiful dinner here at the Grand Ani Restaurant. We dined on salad, fresh bread, rice, and something similar to an American beef stew. My favorite part of dinner was dessert. We were served a Turkish rice pudding that was very creamy and sweet.

After dinner, we met in the conference hall where some of our new friends sang and played the guitar. They are all so talented! We traded a few stories and got to know each other a little better. Tomorrow we have a big day ahead of us! We are headed to Ani. I can't wait!

  2. I am really happy to meet all you guys, especially with you Gabi after a tiring semester in a same group of the online class. The best moment of the evening was the sütleç time :) So, I agree with you. And today we all went to Ani. It was an amazing heritage not only for us or Armenia but also for the whole world. I was fascinated from the dances and clearness of the clouds in Ani region. And finally with you, it was a memorable experience. Thank you ATA Fellows... :)
