The last few days. Plus the big election this past Saturday.

Lindsay and her friend, Sam, arrived just after 3AM this morning. After a brief nap, we were off sightseeing—and here we are.

Street dog and love locks and street dog and door.

Sulfur Baths and Spas. I think we are going to Chreli Abano tomorrow morning.

Art: @goshaart and the Rezo Gabriadze Marionette Theater.

Gosha Art, making Tbilisi brighter every day If you go to Georgia’s capital, you’ve seen @goshaart’s works. The goshaart trademark are cats, which are included in a lot of his art pieces. And this year, I am going to try to catch a performance of The Autumn of my Springtime at the Gabriadze, hopefully in early November. Last year I saw Ramona.

On Saturday my building was a polling site. I wish them good luck. As it turns out, luck was not on our side. With more than 99% of precincts counted, official results from the Central Election Commission give the ruling Georgian Dream party a 54.23% lead. The Georgian Dream celebrates the victory. The opposition denies the legitimacy of the elections.

And now a week or two into my Tbilisi time, I have decided on my November exercise routine. Vake Park. Down 75 steps, walk for 30 minutes and then up 75 steps. Do you think I can do it? ; )

A beautiful well kept park that allows you to seemingly escape the city. Endless Autumn views make Vake Park a
must see for anyone wanting to leave the city traffic and noise behind but not really leave the city. And only a ten minute walk from the apartment. The park was opened in 1946 and is located in the Vake district (my neighborhood) of Tbilisi at the western end of Chavchavadze Avenue (say that three times!!). A World War II memorial sits at the top of the hill in the park.
