All of my most frequented places are still here.😊 It does seem a bit busier though. And I hear lots of English being spoken, more than I remember from last year. Arrived at the apartment about 5:30AM. Took a nap and then went in search of familiar haunts. Mike is stopping by this evening. Tomorrow I am going to make sure the three parks in my neighborhood are still here and tranquil: Mziuri Park, Vake Park and Turtle Lake Park via the tram.

Pictures: top to bottom, left to right. Paris in Georgia—I can still get my hair cut. Georgia’s version of IKEA—I bought extra hangers. Carrefour (grocery) and its mini-mall. And my favorite grocery, Agrohub, where I just completed my first shopping excursion of this trip. My two favorite coffee shops are still here too—Perogico and Lui Coffee. My keyboard doesn’t have the Georgian letters to show you their crazy names in Georgian.

PS I don’t think I am seeing as many street dogs so far this year. And for all you fashionistas, wide leg jeans are definitely all-the-rage. In Spain, Portugal, Munich Airport and even here in Tbilisi.

Munich Airport

Ok, since I spent about six hours in the Munich Lufthansa Senators Lounge on Monday, I thought it only fitting that I should add a few pictures. Hands-down, Munich and Istanbul get my vote for the best lounges. I ate for Monday and Tuesday—food was pretty good and I was so bored. It was busy earlier, but not so much now. My gate was just posted, H02; on time, 22:10. Time for one more dessert. ; ) I don’t know why every flight into Tbilisi lands at 4AM?!
