Now ain't we a bunch of sad sacks! The taxi man came to get us, and we found we were locked in! It was thought that the people upstairs of us took off in the middle of the night without paying their rent and simply locked the gates. They knew we were there because Evelyn talked to them the night before. The girls were wondering how we could get this old lady over the fence plus all of our luggage. But then Ev called the people who owned this apartment where we stayed (Peace Corps people, as I mentioned before), who then called the landlord. The landlord came finally, and we were off!
So that was our last stop, and we were on our way back to Yerevan for two nights before we headed back to the states. We noticed that there were many police cars going the other way, and they were stopping all the cars to the side of the road. Then four black vans came, escorted by other cars...it was the President himself. |
