Back in Yerevan, we visited the Shengavit Kindergarten and the St. Mary Maternity Hospital, the projects that Armenia Fund has helped fund.
Then we headed out to Noy Cognac Factory for a tour and cognac tasting. While we were there, there was a group of young Iranian guys there for a tour of their own, with a Farsi speaking Armenian tour guide. Our tour guide spoke Armenian, so I didn't understand half of the stories, but it was a fun place to see.

Cognac tasting - 20 year old cognac tastes much better than a 10 year old cognac
We did our cognac tasting along with the young group of Iranians. After the first taste, they started singing songs in Farsi and they were having a good old time. Then in competition, our tour members started singing in Armenian, and the Iranians cheered for us. I hope that they had a good time in Armenia. In Iran, they told one of our tour members, they have little freedoms, and they were enjoying their time in Yerevan.
