Saturday, May 9, 2009
We spent the day in Tbilisi. We had a few tasks to do but went to Rustaveli first to see what the opposition protesters were up to. The answer was nothing. Their "tents" were quiet. A few had some men playing cards or nadi, but, because there was no traffic, it was very, very quiet!


But first we had breakfast in "Entre" - a brief self-indulgence!


The stand where the opposition has its speeches.

Some of the "tents".

They say that the opposition is paying the men to stay here and we have heard sums of up to 50 GEL a day per person. That's good money by Georgian standards.

Rustaveli has sprouted some charming miniature statues recently and here are just a few.




Finally we went to our favorite Georgian restaurant and had dinner with Mako and Mike, who is over from Americato see Mako! Mako's friends Natia and Tatia joined us.

Natia, Tatia, Mako and Mike.
