Today we visited the Shushi school in Artsakh to meet the kids. We went in the principal’s office and she introduced us to the school. The school was brand new with a turf field and a stand to watch what is going on, on the field. We took a quick trip to Shushi Cathedral then went back to the school played soccer, and we won. But those boys in Armenia who played soccer were extremely good.
After that we went to the Shushi Museum and the guy talked about Shushi and the war in Artsakh. Some peoples’ stomachs were bothering them. We got a panorama view of Amaras. Also we saw the Armenian alphabet on the ceiling that Mesrob Mashdots put so that the kids could learn Armenian in an easier way. We were walking on top of the buildings at Amaras and there were a lot of ditches which you really couldn’t see and it was really dangerous because you could fall down them, but we didn’t care because we were all having fun. The hotel food in Artsakh (Shushi Grand Hotel) was way better than the hotel food in Yerevan(Marriot). Tonight was karaoke night!
