A few random recent pictures

Well, I had big plans to write a nice blog post all about our trip last weekend to Kazbegi, but got bogged down in way a lot of projects and visiting and so on and haven't gotten around to it yet.  In the meantime, here are a few random, mostly unrelated pictures we've taken recently, none of which would probably get around to getting a full blog post, but all of which are still worth sharing!

We went to Ninotsminda, the small town/village 20 minutes south of Akhalkalaki a few weekends ago to visit with some other volunteers and got to sit in on a performance of little drummer boys.

Even though the sky was threatening rain (and dropped some on us, too), we hiked out across a big field at the edge of town.

In Akhalkalaki, I bought a Coca-Cola with a Canada Dry cap.  I wish they sold ginger ale here!  I have no idea where this rogue cap came from.

Tbilisi is already bright and green, and this guy just doesn't know what to do about it.  

In an ice cream shop in Tbilisi (gelato, actually), I peer pressured Sam into buying a sundae called "Hot Love."  It was way pricier than our usual double scoop cones, but was tasty and worth it, if only for the picture

April 24 was Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day, so people in town all went to the church to light candles and put out flowers near the memorial.  I went pretty early in the morning (like at 11am or some extremely early hour like that), so the pile of flowers wasn't too big yet, but by evening (when I'd left my camera at home) the whole churchyard was littered with flowers.
