One of the activities we really wanted to do while here was work with the locals for a day. Last week, we finally had that opportunity when we spent the afternoon painting at an Armenian pottery shop. If you go anywhere in the Middle East, then you know the people are all about the blues, the reds, the greens, and those itty, bitty tile mosaics. After slaving away in the bureau, it was nice to be able to enjoy some mild revelry with a paint brush slaving away for the Armenian. The potter's name is George Sandrouni, and his family are very nice and welcomed us into their shop with open arms. He gave us a few painting pointers, some pottery, assigned the colors, and let us be for 2 1/2 hours. Not only was it relaxing, it was really fun, and we kept a few things we painted! The video says everything else.
