While many people celebrated with chocolate or flowers, I spent Women's Day walking up to Zorats Qarer: Armenian Stonehenge. Well, I didn't spend the whole day doing that: it's only about an hour's walk outside of town. But, I did spend the afternoon walking out, reading among the rocks, and heading back.
You might remember that our site mates Sasha and Andrea took Sam and I out to Zorats Qarer to welcome us to Sisian. It was beautiful then, but I think that there's an extra special something to the place in springtime: Dnstsaghikner.
Dnztsaghikner, or Snowdrops, are the first flowers we see here in Sisian. They don't grow in the Vorotan river valley, but a few hundred feet up the mountains they speckle the landscape like small purple dancing fairies.
I think that photographing them might have been my favorite part of the entire day.
