Before we moved in with our "Host Family," all 50 of the Peace corps volunteers to Armenia, were taken to a conference center on a hilltop where we had classes on the culture, health and other practical issues. It was also a good time to create stronger friendships with our group. One morning before our classes started, I saw one of the staff at the center "cutting the grass." So I had him pose in front of the view from our location. The country is rugged and sweet all at once. I now have a whole new world of wildflowers to learn about.............*;o). The poppy flower that I picked had a seed pod as big as a cherry. I now understand how they use these for "commercial uses" in Afghanastan.
