• Metal fences around graves
• Gas pipes from 2 feet to 10 feet above the ground, snaking along the streets, meters at each house.
• Gasoline -1.93 / Liter
• Drain pipes come out at my head level over the sidewalk- pay attention!
• Eggplant never tasted so good, so varied in its preparation.
• A treat is walnuts or hazelnuts on a string repeatedly dipped into a slurry of grape juice (fermented or not) sugar and flour. Looks like a lumpy cigar, kind of.
• Star crossed lovers is the primary story book- "Ali and Nino". A Muslim man from Iran, and an Orthodox girl from Georgia. Fabulous statue that melds them together, then thru each other in Batumi. • Afternoon at Shaumta Monastery in Telavi, learning how they make the wine in really big crocks buried in the earth. Some over tasting was happening. Also, they are THE bee keepers. We tasted the different honeys as well.
• Gori- birthplace of Stalin, aka 'Joe'.
Museum has the only photo of him with out camouflage makeup to hide his scarred face. I now own a pocket knife with his portrait. Guess I'm the only one on my block to have this treasure.
