This morning we visited Gomidas Vartabed’s museum. The museum was big and had different halls, that talked about different things that Gomidas has wrote, and played (instruments).
After learning about what he wrote and played, we went onto seeing famous pieces of art that popular artists have drew each one looked different based on the artist, and it also started about Gomidas’ 6 students who were also intelligent. It is amazing how he would listen to Turkish song and translate them into Armenian, then sings it at his concert. We sang one of the songs that Gomidas wrote (Gakavik).
After that we went to see statue of Սասունցի Դաւիթ as bigger than expected and pretty detailed. We took a picture in front of it and put a fist in the air. Then we saw the statue of general Vartan Mamigonian, he had a sword in his hand and a metal helmet.
Later we went to the Armenian history museum, and saw the world oldest leather shoe inside of it was hay. The way the shoe lasted was that it was in a cave and the tempter didn’t drop or go up it stayed cool. It was 5,500 years old, we also saw a carriage that was found underneath the water of lake Sevan it was 3,000 years old. After lunch we went to ice cream, I got hazel nut.
At night we went to a performance of Armenian dances and singing, it lasted 2 hours.
We went to dinner and had pasta, and danced. We had a such a great time.
