THE UNEXPECTED ADVENTURE IN ARMENIA

Ann                         THE UNEXPECTED ADVENTURE IN AMERICA

Anna had always wanted to visit Armenia, a small country in the Caucasus region with a rich history and culture. She booked her flight and hotel through Expedia, hoping to find some good deals and save some money. She was looking forward to exploring the capital city of Yerevan, visiting the ancient monasteries and churches, and tasting the delicious cuisine.

She arrived in Yerevan on a sunny morning and checked into her hotel. She decided to take a walk around the city center and see the main attractions. She admired the Republic Square, the Opera House, the Cascade, and the Mother Armenia statue. She also stopped by a local market and bought some fresh fruits and nuts. She was enjoying the friendly atmosphere and the colorful architecture.

She was about to head back to her hotel when she saw a sign that said “Mud Volcanoes Tour”. She was intrigued by the idea of seeing mud volcanoes, which are natural phenomena where gas and water mix and create bubbles of mud. She had never seen anything like that before. She followed the sign and found a small office where a man was sitting behind a desk.

“Hello, do you want to see the mud volcanoes?” he asked her with a smile.

“Yes, I do. How much is it?” she asked.

“It’s only 20 dollars. I have a car and I can take you there. It’s about an hour drive from here. It’s very beautiful and interesting. You won’t regret it.” he said.

Anna hesitated for a moment. She didn’t know this man and she didn’t have any references for his tour. She wondered if it was safe and reliable. But she also felt adventurous and curious. She decided to take a chance and go with him.

“OK, let’s go then. I have some time before dinner.” she said.

“Great. Come with me. My name is Aram, by the way.” he said.

“I’m Anna. Nice to meet you.” she said.

They got into his car and drove out of the city. Aram was very friendly and talkative. He told her about his life, his family, his hobbies, and his love for Armenia. He also gave her some information about the mud volcanoes, their origin, their location, and their benefits. He said that some people believed that the mud had healing properties and that they used it for skin care and massage.

Anna listened to him with interest and asked him some questions. She learned a lot about him and his country. She also felt comfortable and relaxed with him. He seemed to be a nice and honest person.

They arrived at the mud volcanoes site after an hour. Anna was amazed by the sight. There were dozens of small hills covered with gray mud. Some of them were bubbling and making noises. Some of them were calm and still. The contrast between the mud and the blue sky was striking. It looked like a scene from another planet.

Aram parked the car and got out. He invited Anna to follow him. He said that they could walk around the site and touch the mud. He said that it was safe and fun. He also said that he had a camera and that he could take some pictures of her.

Anna agreed and followed him. She felt excited and curious. She walked around the hills and touched the mud. It was warm and soft. She smeared some of it on her face and hands. She laughed and smiled. She felt like a child playing with clay.

Aram took some pictures of her. He also joined her and put some mud on his face and hands. He looked funny and cute. He made some jokes and made her laugh. He also took some selfies with her. They had a lot of fun together.

They spent about an hour at the mud volcanoes site. They cleaned themselves with some water and towels that Aram had brought. They got back into the car and drove back to the city. They talked some more and shared some stories. They also exchanged their phone numbers and email addresses. They agreed to keep in touch and maybe see each other again.

Anna thanked Aram for the tour and the company. She said that it was one of the best experiences of her life. She said that he was a great guide and a great friend. She gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

Aram thanked her for joining him and trusting him. He said that he was happy to meet her and show her his country. He said that she was a wonderful person and a wonderful guest. He gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

They said goodbye and parted ways. Anna walked back to her hotel with a smile on her face. She felt happy and grateful. She had just had an unexpected adventure in Armenia. She had just met a new friend. She had just made a new memory.

She couldn’t wait to tell her family and friends about it. She couldn’t wait to see the pictures. She couldn’t wait to hear from Aram again.

She checked her phone and saw that he had already sent her a message.

“Hi Anna, I hope you are well. I had a great time with you today. You are amazing. Here are some of the pictures we took. I hope you like them. Let me know what you think. I hope to see you soon. Aram.”

She opened the message and saw the pictures. She saw herself covered with mud and smiling. She saw him covered with mud and smiling. She saw them together, holding hands and hugging. She saw the mud volcanoes behind them.

She smiled and felt a warm feeling in her heart. She replied to his message.

“Hi Aram, I’m fine. I had a great time with you too. You are awesome. The pictures are beautiful. I love them. Thank you for everything. I hope to see you soon too. Anna.”

She put her phone away and went to her room. She took a shower and changed her clothes. She lay down on her bed and closed her eyes. She thought about her day. She thought about him. She felt happy and peaceful.

She fell asleep with a smile on her face.

The end.
