Lit up like a Disney castle, Batumi, Adjaria
Our amazing local driver (who always said "Ты помнишь" when he really meant "Ты понимаешь")
Batumi, Adjaria
We basically went on a jumping tour of Adjaria. Here on the beach by the Turkish border.
Climbing a sheer rock, so that we could jump off of it. Makes perfect sense to me.
That mosque is Turkey, on the border with Adjaria.
Bridge to the restaurant in the jungle. Adjaria
Banquet hall next to a river at the restaurant in the jungle

Little cabins where you can spend the night after a particularly satisfying feast at the restaurant in the jungle. Adjaria.
I love Adjaria!! You can go swimming and eat in the same restaurant in the jungle!
It's like a massage
Fountains in the resort town of Batumi.

Dolphin chilling in the resort town of Batumi.
You can actually drink out of these things, reasonably pure water
I've seen toilets, and I've seen holes-in-the-ground. I'd never before seen a toilet in the ground.
Entrance to the botanical gardens in Adjaria
Dilapidated ski lift in Adjaria. Soviet ruins are so interesting!
Oil tanker off the coast of Adjaria.
Abandoned school in the jungle of Adjaria
Adjaria has some of the most beautiful terrain on Earth
Adjarian and Georgian flags, interspersed
WWII memorial
The longest/highest stone bridge in Georgia (maybe even in the Caucasus). We, of course, jumped off of it.

Famous church and statue in Tbilisi, near the old city
Soviet phone banks. In order to make International calls in the SU, you had to sign up and get approval in advance. Then you'd use rooms like this. Some of the phones were still in use.

One of the two main sulfur baths in Tbilisi
"Never in my life have I found anything more luxurious than the Tbilisi baths," Alexander Pushkin, 27 May 1829.
Exterior of the other sulfur baths, they're right across the street from each other. Apparently they had a stage set up here where President Bush danced.

Tbilisi from the hills
Literally on a sheer cliff
I have no idea what this could be used for. Perhaps a combination blender and meat grinder. At the market in Tbilisi
Almost all markets on the post-Soviet space have used army goods for sale (gear, flags, badges, etc.). This is the first where I've seen the flag for an oil company!
Kids playing in the fountains in Tbilisi
A really nice, newly built section of Tbilisi, near the old city
Cool, modern, colorful metro cars.
Neat graphic on the inside of the Tbilisi metro. I really love this symbol, and like how it's basically everywhere.
Some church was dedicating a new icon (or possibly rededicating after newly acquiring an old icon), so they paraded it around Tbilisi
