We also went to the studio Sophy has been teaching acting classes at and took the metro which is one of the deepest in the world (very scary escaltor ride). I also included a picture I took of one of the streets we walked down at dusk. The light here is beautiful!
The arts are a big thing here, especially theatre (which we are going to later this week). The building is the theatre university, Rustabeli, the statue is outside of the most famous theatre in the city. Marjanishvili. Apparently Alan Rickman spent time between both places while studying acting.
We walked to around the city yesterday, Sophy lives pretty close to the center so there was a lot to see. We went to a nice park called Deda Ena (mother tongue) that has an artist market 365 days a year and a flower market. We also went to a bookstore cafe where they had a Georgian translation of Michelle Obama's book which I thought was hilarious.
Sophy took me out for ajdaruli khatchpuri which is like a bread boat with cheese topped with a raw egg yolk and butter that you mix together and then dip the bread into. It was pretty good but too salty and very rich. We also had some kind of lemonade mixed with flavored syrups. The chocolate one was too weird for me but the cream was okay. Bryson bought me churchkhela (not pictured) from a street vendor which is walnuts dipped in dried fruit juice which was pretty good! For dinner we had Khinkali which are Georgian dumplings made from a combination of pork and beef with herbs like dill, cilantro, and parsley which was very good!
Hello everyone I am still waiting to hear more from the police. In the meantime, I've been having an amazing time exploring Georgia so I'm going to be posting pictures here. I promise I will provide updates about the police situation as soon as I can!
In a completely unexpected turn of events, I have booked my tickets for Georgia for March 29th-April 6th! I was originally planning on going in May but there is a significant (like $500-2,000) price difference and every flight had a layover in Istanbul. This flight was much cheaper and goes through Amsterdam (I'll wave to Owen's old stomping grounds!) Thank you all for helping make this happen, I am absolutely over the moon!
Korean Barbecue, bookstore cafe, and delicious soup that Chloe and Warwick made
Reunited with the boys and something crazy happened. I guess Calcifer missed Moby.
Just turned on my out of office response on my email, next stop Denver!
Baba asked some good questions that I figured everyone could benefit from. Size large for the pajama shorts, a handheld steamer, and the bumpy kind of foam roller- for deep tissue massage or whatever.

-New pj shorts (I like the pair of thieves super soft lounge shorts)
-Foam roller for my back
-Socks
-clothes steamer
-London National Theater online subscription
-A swim in the pond in the rain by George Suanders

Warwick and I will be packing pretty light this year so if it's something big, you might want to have it shipped to our apartment.
