RANDOM FOTOS

Today I'm light on photos, so I'll just give you a few to look at. We did some walking on "the other side of the river" this morning/afternoon.

Brass seems to be "in" in Tbilisi. Statues, brass designs on buildings, and now, faucets.

The Tbilisi government invested $6 million to give this street a facelift. A lot of the stores are now high end. Jon said that it resembles Paris.

Karol was excited to see this poster. She has used the book The Tale of Despereaux in her summer "English for College" class. I guess you have to know the story to appreciate the poster.

A common site around Tbilisi is the mostly older ladies selling flowers, greens, and vegetables. It's like they grow these things in their yards. But, I imagine they buy from a wholesaler and then sell retail on the street.

You have to recognize the "golden arches" here in Tbilisi also. There are now four McDonalds in the city. I thought we could get "senior" coffee, but we did not get the discount coffee, and we were served a cup of Nescafe instant in cups with German writing. Sounds to me like McDonalds is getting CHEEP!

I know that I've previously said that many homes each have their own grapevine (on patios or in yards or even on decks). This is the first grape arbor that served the four patios of four different apartments. I suppose that if you were at street level, you might be able to grab a few free ones at harvest time.
