Tbilisi!

So here are some pictures of when I went to Tbilisi a couple weeks ago. Tbilisi is the capital of Georgia and it's only a couple hours away from the northern border of Azerbaijan. It was a nice little getaway before I had to get back into the daily school grind. 

This is me overlooking the old part of the city.

This is Old Guy. It's a long story of how we came to agree on taking him with us to Tbilisi. We found him in my friend Ze's apartment closet. He's an easy conversation starter. This is the view of Tbilisi from the top of the hills overlooking it. 

These are a bunch of other PCVs from Azerbaijan that we bumped into that weekend. We're relaxing in some hot sulfur baths.

Outside of the Turkish baths. From left to right that's Eli, Myriam, Amy, Sean, me, and Ze who I went up with.

Just me and my buddy Charlie.

The food is so BOMB there. That's hagipoori on the left, this fried cheesy bread and a roasted potatoes and pork dish.

Here's me and Ze in front of the Saint George statue in the middle of Freedom Square. This is where the Rose Revolution took place in 2003.

Nightlife in Tbilisi. Lots of homemade wine. Lots of Russian vodka.

Here's Old Guy in our first class train cabin. Lush isn't it?
