Monday 5-9-22 Trip to City and Georgia Victory Day Holiday

 Cool and windy again, about 50F.

At about 10:00 AM Erik took us in his 1999 Mercedes 180 to the city. He parked near the Sulfur Baths.

We walked up along a stream. We stopped at a Souvenir Shop


There were lots of things to buy



The proprietor said I had to try ChahCha


She poured us each a shotglass full


We then continued up the path to the source of the stream, a beautiful waterfall


Cathy and Kathryn at waterfall



We went back down the path past the Sulfur Baths


We continued down towards where the car was parked. We passed a place selling Churchkhela, a confection made with grapes, nuts and wine on a string


I like it. Cathy and I tried it at the house


We were getting hungry and there were lots of restaurants. Erik picked one


We had a delicious lunch of pork, chicken and vegetables with beer and wine


We had quite a bit left to take home

We drove over to the Dry Bridge Market area and parked in underground parking. We were near an ATM


so Cathy withdrew some money


We proceeded across the bridge to the sales area. People just drive up and create their sales area on the sidewalk. There are lots of antiques and Soviet Era things and art.


Erik was interested in some Soviet Army Telnyashka, striped undershirts. They are striped horizontally in different colors that represent branch of service


None were Erik's size

There were some US license plates including Minnesota


There were a lot of old telephones that caught my eye


The market is open every day and is in a beautiful park area


As we drove home I saw many examples of Georgia's unity with Ukraine


For dinner we had left overs from the meals at Austrian Brewery and lunch today. I had one of the ribs an several peppers and egg plant.
