It’s day 10 ,we walked to the Metro train station. We took a train to the Yeredasartagan station. It’s called Yeredasartagan ,because in English Yeredasartagan means youth/young , and a lot of the universities are in the area of the station.
Madenataran was huge. It was made in 1957. The statue in front is Mesrob Mashdots and his student Goryoun kneeling in front of him. He is kneeling in front of him because he wrote his biography. Madenataran looks like a church because it has a lot of books. It has 17,000 books, 15,000 in Armenian and 2,000 are in different languages. Next to the door are 6 of our famous people. Examples are Anania Shiragatsy and Movses Khorenatsy.
If you stand in front of the door you can see Ararat very clearly. It is very beautiful. Also the Madenataran was closed. Another thing is that the Madenataran was on a hill. After that we walked to a puppet show. It was about a chick getting raised by a fox and a wolf. The fox wants to eat the chick. But the wolf feels like a real father and protects the chick.
Then we went to a kid’s art museum. The artworks were so creative and cool that ages 3 to 16 could do this.
Then we went to Vernesaj, it is a flea market which had knives, swords, instruments, jewelery, and Armenian nik-naks.
Then we went to the Grand Candy factory. It made the biggest chocolate bar in the world!!!! We bought so much candy and we loaded ourselves with bonchig(donuts)!!!! Then we went to a restaurant .The food was great!!!!! We had a great day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
