I'd told Roseanna that I'd been thinking of going to Nagorno-Karabakh and she mentions that they have a client coming in to their tour agency (Discover Armenia) looking to head there, but he won't be arriving for a few days. I think that I won't be in Yerevan long enough to meet up with the guy so put the thought in the back of my head. I definitely did not expect to meet him the way I did, but that's another story.

I spend another few days in Yerevan because I love it so much, taking in several sights:

Recently built cathedral.

In the evening I catch the republic square fountain show:
