Georgia is not rich
in lakes - that was unfortunate comparison with Lithuania, where half an hour
by car is max time needed - and you already dive into a cool fresh water on a
hot summer day.
Yet - yet! -
nostalgia does not last long, and then you look around for local treasures.
Last weekend I went for a picnic outside the city. Just half an hour drive, and
we were among trees and fields, breathing in with full lungs the fresh air. It
appears, in the outskirts of Tbilisi there are many open - air fireplaces,
ready and waiting for picnic'ers (I'm pretty sure it's not a real word. But
bear with me) to come and enjoy. In the place where I was, we even found
barbeque sticks tied in a tree, ready for anyone to use. That's what I call
barbeque culture!
Tables for picnics are arranged everywhere - e.g. near ancient fortresses and towers |
Fun fact about Georgia is that if you find a secluded place and you think you're alone, it doesn't mean it will last for long. If someone finds it and likes it as well, they won't mind that you're just a few meters away, and the aroma of their mtsvadi will mix in the air with yours very soon. The more, the merrier - that is definitely a valid motto here!
Covered from the road by trees - it was a perfect place for improvised barbeque |
One of the most impressive sausages I have ever seen - all in one! Found while shopping for a picnic, more than a year ago. |
