Train Trip

There are 5 new senior couples in Yerevan, so on January 29 we rode the midnight train from Georgia to Yerevan with the zone leaders to go to a senior couple conference to meet them. We had our own little compartment with a bed on each wall. The bathroom was down the hall. We left at 8:30pm and stopped at the boarder to get our visas around 11:00. Then we tried to sleep until we arrived at Yerevan around 7:30. The train moved very slowly and was very bumpy - it was an adventure!

We spent the morning with the Watkins - she made us a yummy breakfast and then we went to a cool musuem built into the mountain. Unfortunately the museum was closed - but we could still go in the building and up to the top for a great view.

Luckily the Yum Yum Donut Store was not closed and we had a yummy apple fritter!!! We had a great meeting with the other senior couples and then went out to dinner for Chinese food. We are now the Senior senior couple - having been in the mission the longest.

We then borded the midnight train to Georgia and headed home - arriving at 10 am. I was so excited to be able to have Honey Nut Cheerios and Regular Cheerios for breakfast - they sold them in Yerevan - what a treat and only 2000 dramm each!
