Conference Photos!

Here are some long-overdue photos from the conference!
This is the resort where we stayed--Arthur's Aghveran Resort. Very new and swanky with one small problem--mice! Really not a fan of waking up in the middle of the night to see a mouse staring back at me...and not a tiny little mouse like the ones we used to sell at Petco...this was a big mouse...chipmunk sized, maybe.





Here's a photo from the conference itself...it was freezing in that room most of the time...












This is the view from the deck of the main building--that was where everyone would go for smoke/coffee breaks. Down below was an artificial pond that you could pay to fish in if you wanted to.

As you can see, this is one of Armenia's few forested areas. Very pretty!






On the last day, Vahagn and I hiked down to the river...it was a very photogenic location so we took lots of pictures, although I'm sure his turned out better than mine since he's a photographer and I just go for quantity in the hope that a few will turn out halfway decent!








On the last night we had a ping pong tournament. Professional sized tables are in fact smaller. And harder to play on. And some of these people were really good!
