This is mainly a post to talk about a few things that just
didn’t really fit in anywhere else, but still deserve to be mentioned during my
time in Kvishkheti. So I’m just going to make this a picture post, along with
explanations. They aren’t necessarily in any chronological order.
On one of our marshutka rides. Melissa likes to sing aloud, and Eric likes to not listen. This was an especially special song called "Country Bumpkin."
Our cluster in class with our LCF, Lela
Cutest baby ever, Andria.
The beautiful Elene, with her son.
Some of the flowers in our yard. One of my favorite things about village life is all the lovely gardens with their colorful flowers.
Look at the size of this rose!!!
I prefer Georgian roses to American
A bunch of bali (cherries) waiting to be made into compote and muraba (preserved fruit in syrup). They make all of their own fruit preserves for winter. My new host mom made 100 cans of peaches, and 200 bottles of tomato sauce!!
Can't get enough of him!
Went to work in the grape fields one day. I asked Marina if there was a third hoe so that I could help, but she told me it's okay to just watch. Well I wasn't about to be the jerk who sat and watched as they work away in the garden, so I started weeding with my hands. Unfortunately, I did not (and still do not) know what stinging nettle looks like. My hands burnt the rest of the day.
On a trip to Tbilisi, we all had to visit a teaching-related organization. We went to the Teacher Development Center, which offers enriching training to Georgian teachers.
Elene's birthday party with a cake made by Lela. I was only able to stay for a little bit since our end of PST dinner was the same night.
Kvishkheti cluster performing our talent. We wrote our own funny lyrics to the Sound of Music's "My Favorite Things"
Kvishkheti's lovely ladies: Caiti, me, Lela, Melissa
