A friend, Gevorg, invited me to his dacha to celebrate Vardavar Day, a pagan feast which was adopted by Christian Armenia because it is a celebration of love, beauty, and mostly water. Children (and adults) are free to throw water on whomever they wish at will. A friend in Yerevan brought a SuperSoaker from America for the feast, and the kids call her "The Terminator!" We celebrated with horovats and of course, water.
