We went on a Sunday during service, and the singing sounded otherworldly, too. In front of the monastery, women sell gata, a kind of bread-like sweet that can be baked in a tonir. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ac50c7496d455790a7cf171/1524112537413-KTW9G84LSMSR2QX4NLLP/roadside%2Bapples.jpg Dispatches - Postcards from the Lavash Road By our trip in November, Armenia was well into apple season. On the way to Geghard, we passed by hillsides that held a patchwork of fruit orchards. On our way back into town, we stopped here and bought apples. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ac50c7496d455790a7cf171/1524112562182-N84CN4TZHM25056JWT3A/Lavash%2Bbakers%2Bpreparing%2Bfor%2Bthe%2Bnext%2Bbake.jpg Dispatches - Postcards from the Lavash Road At first I thought we were going to annoy these lavash-baking ladies by getting in the way. But they were not only gracious with information, they kept feeding us and serving us soorj, Armenian coffee. That's a box of chocolates on the table. One of the women is fixing the batat, the pillow-like thing they use to stick the lavash to the walls of the tonir with a firm whomp. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ac50c7496d455790a7cf171/1524112582374-Y4W59M67V4UTUFBQJ82I/Sitting%2Baround%2Bthe%2Btonir.jpg Dispatches - Postcards from the Lavash Road A tonir is a pretty great place to keep warm on cold mornings.

In Armenia, the fuss is real. At one home we visited near Argel, a bunch of ladies bake lavash for home use. They bake enough to last them through winter. Here it's drying on the roof. Once dry, they'll stack it and put it in a spare bedroom. (It's easy to rehydrate dried lavash by sprinkling it with water and covering it for a few minutes.) Across the hall, from the lavash bedroom, one of the kids had painted "The Boy Who Lived" over the door frame. Harry Potter fans are everywhere. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ac50c7496d455790a7cf171/1524112622322-4TH20J7YZCTET0FWTJ7G/No-name%2Brestaurant%2Bin%2BYerevan.jpg Dispatches - Postcards from the Lavash Road This restaurant in Yerevan is well worth a visit, but I can't give you its name. It doesn't have one. The owner told us he didn't need to name it because it's busy enough without advertising. If you want to find it, ask for the tax authority building. It's the restaurant next to the tax authority entrance, and it's packed with gruff-looking guys hunched over bowls of what probably reminds them of mom's cooking. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ac50c7496d455790a7cf171/1524112642517-VQDARYFZI075HYSYJDD5/quince%2Bin%2BYerevan.jpg Dispatches - Postcards from the Lavash Road In addition to the more famous G.U.M. market, Yerevan also has a more low-key village market, which is where people from the Armenian countryside show up to sell amazing produce to city slickers. And because it was apple season, it was also quince season. These smelled delightful. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ac50c7496d455790a7cf171/1524112665296-6R1BFQ5NJ36W0WIO7CVL/Vahe%2BKeushguerian.jpg Dispatches - Postcards from the Lavash Road We visited Vahe Keushguarian's wine incubator, where he had us sample a vat of what he called "blue wine" -- I believe the grape was called Gaboudgeni? It looked like a blueberry smoothie. Who knows if this grape will be noble enough for anyone to take interest down the road, but these experiments are normal in in this wine frontier land. Vahes daughter, Aimee, also makes wine -- here she's sticking her head in to see what her dad's up to. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ac50c7496d455790a7cf171/1524112683471-WG2CP0JNO2VDCEDFOCQK/Anna%2BM%2Bshooting%2Bpomegranates.jpg Dispatches - Postcards from the Lavash Road Anna M., one of our Tumo student friends, at work at the central market in Stepanakert shooting pomegranates.
