Reading your experience is like getting on that train with you, feeling both the stifling heat and the cool breeze from the mountains. If I'm honest I don't know that part of the world more than superficially, through books and what one finds on the internet, but your way of narrating made me look for more details, wanting to better understand those landscapes, seasons and moments you describe. I like how you transform a difficult journey into a story. Mixing nostalgia, patience and small victories along the way. You are so right, it is those uncomfortable journeys that give us a deeper appreciation for the places we return to. Thank you for sharing your journey with such authenticity.
Best regards. Take care.👋

Going through parts of Armenia is like watching a cowboy film. That's the sort of environment much of it is, and then the more north you head, the more the green appears. More canyons, more forests. Rail that go up and around those cliff edges. Sometimes you look down at the small villages below. Sometimes you see the former height of the USSR with massive factories that are still active. It's like a trip through a different world in which the landscape shifts every hour.
