Our taxi driver in Alaverdi, Armenia was Anastas Migoyan, the nephew of the man who invented the MIG fighter jet, and yes that is the last remaining original MIG in his backyard. He showed us pictures of his uncle with Castro, Stalin, Kennedy and Nixon. Not too many people have met with all those leaders! Alaverdi was a sad town, high unemployment, but beautiful monasteries from the 1100's that are on the World Heritage list
