Armenia

I am told that the average monthly salary in Armenia is the equivalent of $364 US in the country and $390 US in Yerevan the Capital.

Armenia is a small country that doesn’t find itself on the list of popular tourist destinations. But for tourists, like me, who like to explore nature, learn about history, drink and eat delicious food, Armenia is the right choice. It’s a rustic ancient land with amazing countryside where people take great pride in their traditions, culture, religion and cuisine.

As fast as the hot bread comes from the open round oven it is sold.

Here you see the hot bread being removed from the oven.

Employees working hard in the kitchen to create these great treats to enjoy.

This is really good looking bread.

Since opening its doors, the museum has received tens of thousands of visitors including schoolchildren, college students and huge numbers of tourists from outside Armenia. The Republic of Armenia has turned visiting the museum into part of state protocol and many official foreign delegations have already visited the museum.
