It begins tonight. My journey into the past. Not literally into the past, but into a place connected to my past. It's an ancient land called "Hayastan" (the name that the people of Armenia call their homeland), where my ancestors came from. This will be my first time visiting there. I will be there for 2 months. The first month I will be volunteering with the Land and Culture Organization in a gyugh (village) called Shirakamut. The second month I will be in a city called Gyumri, where I will be assigned some hitherto undecided task.
My first flight is at 6:30 AM and I will be on planes and in airports for about 24 hours before I arrive in Yerevan, the capital city of Armenia.
