Interns’ activities

Throughout the last four weeks the interns have been working very hard and have deservedly enjoyed themselves when the weekend has arrived, by taking part in many different activities.

Canoeing, sightseeing, restaurants and even a birthday party have kept the Armenians busy on their days off from work, whilst also helping them de-stress from the week’s intense endeavors.

Canoeing and kayaking on the Potomac River was a treat for everyone who took part on Saturday June 14th. It was a fantastic day, the sun was out in full force, and the light breeze on the water helped to keep those with the paddles cool. A peaceful two hours was spent on the main River in D.C. as the interns paired up into boats and took to the water, going as far down as the Lincoln Memorial.


Numerous trips were also made to the monuments in Washington D.C. where one day is never enough to cover all the amazing sights of interest. Interns visited the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument, the National War Memorial, the Capitol Building, and many other famous landmarks around the city.


Being Armenian, the interns all share the same passion for food and have therefore been to many different restaurants across the city, tasting the wide range of cuisine available to them including Mexican, American, Italian, Chinese, Thai, Malaysian and of course Armenian, at the famous Moby Dick’s Kebab House on M Street.
