Today is May 28, Armenian Independence Day. We went to Sardarabad. There we saw the tower which displays 12 bells representing each of the 12 provinces. The 2 bulls on either side of the tower represent strength and victory. There were various groups of the Armenian military such as the police, army and marines.
We saw stealth fighter jets which flew really fast above us and let out red, blue, and orange colored smoke. We heard sonic booms (that’s when all of a sudden a jet goes really fast). We watched the beautiful celebration, then climbed Sardarabad, sang the Sardarabad song and took a picture.
Next, we were interviewed by various news stations. Then we took a walk to the National History Museum. But sadly because it was a holiday we couldn’t go in and see the 5,500 year old shoe.
