Travel day to Zigdidi, Georgia
There are a lot of really old Soviet Union buildings, some have graffiti on Them. there are also some beautiful murals on some of the buildings. A lot of the buildings are in disrepair.
We stopped for a break along the road. These are just some of the foods Georgians eat. We stopped at a Dunkin Donuts today, but I haven't been eating fast food here. The food is too good here!
We stopped a long the side of the road and there was a woman in a small wooden hut selling a special bread. We pulled over and bought somebread. It was baked in a clay stove outdoors. It tasted sweet and a bit smoky from the wood burning. This was the only place to buy this special bread in Georgia!
We met up with Ms. Breedlove's (our Teachers for Global Classrooms representative) and her Georgian "mom". They were so happy to see each other again! Ms. Breedlove was in the Peace Corps for 2 years here.. She helped to teach English in schools here and really enjoyed it.
Georgian cookies in large boxes. Delicious!
There was lots of snow and flurries today on our drive throughout Georgia. There were a lot of wandering cows and pigs along the streets and they seemed very happy nibbling on fresh greens and wandering free.

WOW this looks so cool I love the story about the bread and the lady and the hut, also all the baked goods looked really good, It must be really cool seeing how grocery stores are so different from here and all the different foods they have, the place where you went also looks super cool. It seems so much fun.
