Steph lamented shallow journalism yesterday, and today I understood better what she meant when I read the brief article on exploring Armenia in the Austrian Airways “skylines” magazine. I learned a number of things about Armenia – the importance of the diaspora, of the unreachable Ararat, of the Christian religion – but then the author waxed poetic about Lake Sevan, the highest lake in the world at 1900 meters above sea level.Â
To which I say: Titicaca. Â
I think I have a new euphemism.
There’s also this list of high lakes. I think a key, though slippery, word is “navigable.”
