I had a wonderful and spontaneous small ride with the guys today: Yerevan — Ejmiatsin — Ashtarak — Yerevan in the dusk, enjoying delicious roadside watermelon in the middle. The Ejmiatsin — Ashtarak road is fantastic in the dusk, so if you have two hours in the evening and want to have an immensely aesthetic and atmospheric experience, just hit the Ejmiatsin M5 highway then M3 then M1 (then have some chocolate ice cream at SQ1?).
You won’t regret it.
