Educational trip to Vayots Dzor

Educational trip to Vayots Dzor

Though our last trip was 6 months ago, our group was still there for another trip. This time we decided to go to Vayots Dzor province. The trip started on March 28, we went straight to Jermuk. We were staying at the hotel “Evmari” and, to be honest, I really liked it. So we dropped our suitcases in hotel rooms and decided to go for a little walk in the city. The weather wasn’t cold, but it was snowing. There were lots of massive snow bunches in Jermuk, so while walking and exploring the city, we had a snowball fight. After our walk we just came back to the hotel, had supper together, and as that day was our friend Hayk's birthday, we started celebrating, eating cake, playing games, and just relaxing.

The next day we went to the “Jermuk” educational complex. We actually liked it, it was a cool place to study. We introduced our school there, told them about our 6 languages, extra classes, flashmobs, trips, educational blogs, and other cool stuff, and they told us about theirs. After introducing we had a little talk about Amulsar and all the problems that were and would be caused to people by using the mountain, then we read some poems of Hovhannes Tumanyan and taught them some of the Armenian dances. Then we went to the Jermuk Art Gallery which is a branch of the National Gallery of Armenia. I don't like galleries that much, but this one was actually a good place. Most of all I was impressed by 3 paintings by Van Hunanyan, Levon Kojoyan, and Knarik Vardanyan. Those were the most colorful and original paintings in the gallery, so I really liked them.
After the gallery we decided to go to the famous Jermuk  Group company, to see how they make many people's favorite drink. I don't like to drink jermuk and I wasn't that interested in the process of making it, so I didn't go there. We were very tired after all, so just went back to our hotel. After dinner, others from our group decided to go for a walk in the city one more time, but some of us preferred to stay in our hotel room and play some games. After we had supper and started dancing, playing new more interesting games, e.t.c. It was the most interesting part of our trip, especially that night, because we didn't sleep at all. All night we were talking, playing and just spending a great time. In my opinion, this was our best trip, cause it was the first time that I really felt like that's my home.

We  are   looking forward to going to our next trip in May wishing it to be more exciting, and little bit longer, because this one was too short to completely enjoy it.
