Yerevan, Armenia



In Yerevan,there are about 1,107,800 people. It is about 87 sq. miles. There are a lot of tall apartments. There are parks and also a gorge. Where we live, you can see Mt. Ararat, which is 16,804 ft. tall. But it is actually in Turkey, and it is the landing place of Noah's ark. There is a Mother Armenia statue, left and right a little like the Statue of Liberty. It has been very foggy lately . Yesterday we could hardly see the Puccini's house down the street.

First Post



Hi, my name is Benjamin James Crawford. I am 10 years old. My birthday is March 31. We live in Yerevan, Armenia at Vanahoved. We have a dog named Rocky.

We've been watching Cosby Shows here. I think that's 1 thing I'll remember about Armenia.

We set up our Christmas tree yesterday. Our Christmas Tree star is silver. We have watched 'A Muppet Christmas"and "How the Grinch Stole Christmas"about 3 times each already.

Homeschooling is going well. I've been going to basketball, but all the school buildings closed because of the flu.

We went to Queen Burger. There is no Burger King or McDonalds here.
