TRAVERSE 114
seeing , tasting and smelling what this amazing city has to offer .
Street performers playing violins , guitars , and other stringed instruments throughout the streets , art , food stalls , people and dogs made navigating the streets a wonderful experience . So much history , stuff I never learned in school and so much of it related to war , power and of course money . The architecture mimics the progression of the city ’ s development and freedom from the former Soviet Union , now with Arab influences as they come here to holiday and spend their money on property development .
My guide for the day Georgio was a child of the 1990 ' s when shit was really bad here , his story gave me goose bumps and saddened me when he described the horrors he and his family endured and that of so many people at that particular time . I hoped , like many others , that wars will end , and people can be free from the terror they induce .
My second day in Tbilisi began with a quick coffee , a bite to eat then a brisk walk through the city streets to meet my next guide . There are so many street dogs here and I love them all , each doing their own
