We had an exciting tour of historic Tilbilsi. It is stunning- there are many different types of influences in the city. Georgia has only been independent from Soviet Union (Russia) since 1991. The city has been conquered 29 times..by the Mongols, Arabs, Persians, Seljuk and Ottoman Turks, within a 1,500 time period. Yet this amazing city has always been rebuildt. Georgians are very proud of this.
The city was discovered in about 500 AD by King Vakhtang. There is an old legend here that he went hunting one day for pheasant. He shot one and the wounded pheasant fell into a warm spring. The pheasant soon came out, completely healed! That's how the warm water springs were discovered. King Vakhtang decided to build the city here. It is named after Tbili which means warm in Georgian. There are warm water baths that people still come to, and they believe its very healthy for you to soak in the warm springs.
There is also an American influence here and I have seen a Subway, Dunkin' Donuts and McDonalds. Georgian food is delicious! Here is a picture of our breakfast at the hotel. 
They even have chicken nuggets here!
It is funny how they have many different american stores there, And also they have different foods at mcdonalds. Also the breakfast at you hotel Looks SOO good, I hope the school is cool and the kids like the video we made, also the Chocolate.
