Best Weekend Ever!!

This weekend was by far the best weekend I have had in a really long time! I went with my new friends across all of Georgia. We stopped in Kutaisi first to grab some essentials before making the long trek up a giant mountain to the region of Svaneti. It took us a while to get up there, with bumpy roads and head butting cows, but we finally made it just in time to have a supra with one of my friends cousins. They own a sort of bed and breakfast type house so we slept very well! The next day we continued up the mountain to get a better view as well as some food; what a long ride that was! We then went back to my friends cousins house where we made yet another supra. We called it a night and woke up bright and early to drive down the mountain and to the Black Sea. It took us a few hours but we finally made it to the beach city of Batumi. We swam, drove to the Turkish boarder, and even got to see a water show that used a projector to project various dances from around the world into a cloud of mist; the dancers looked like they were actually there dancing! We left Batumi that same night and drove back to Kutaisi where I met some more Georgians, one of which gave me a present (a bottle of Georgian wine) after only getting to meet me for one hour...now that's hospitality!! The next day we went into some caves and into a forest where we were able to see dinosaur footprints, very cool. After that we visited some churches, one of which is probably the most famous church in all of Georgia, then went to my friends parents house to eat and make supra before finally coming back to Gori. I had so much fun and I now have two really good Georgian friends. We are like the three stooges and are already planning our next adventure :).
