Some photos from my holiday in France

I would like share with you some photos I made in my holidays in France.

This is near the city named GAP, in south-est of France, beautiful « blue hole » because there is not clouds 340 days/years.

Enjoy,

Spring is here!

Shame on us for not keeping you updated!
Right now quite a lot of things are going on for us EVS volunteers, and now when the spring is coming everything feels easier and funnier. Right now I would say that we are mostly focusing on Moving gallery, that I hope noone missed. Check it out on facebook - Moving gallery.
Right now we are trying to collect artists, make people aware of the project in different ways so they can visit us. We have been putting up posters, spreading information on the web and making a movie that we hope will be showed on the big screen outside the municipality house of Rustavi city.

Three of us were on the mid-term training for EVS-volunteers, which was held in Tbilisi in the hotel Prestige. It was great with some vacation in a nice hotel and to meet some really nice people. Unfortunately I have no pictures from the training.

Good night, and see you soon again!

Let’s follow an empty houses…

One of the biggest New Year resolutions for us was to travel more during our stay in Georgia (we must admit that winter time makes as a little bit lazy ;). Our first travel destination was Telavi in the east part of Georgia. Kriska and Sophie (2 new EVS in Rustavi working for SiQA organization) decided to join us.  Kara –their lovely mentor offered us to be our driver and guide. Thanks to that we were able to see much more then only Televi old town.  The trip was full of gooood music, fog (also a cigarette fog in the car) and bad smell of old reheated Khaczapuri (my fault, my fault, and so on..)

First place on our list (okay, it appears on our list by accident) was ruins of Ujarma Castel.  Some small climbing, some running..

After that we achieved a major (but not the best) point in our trip – Telavi. And in the castle "Korchibashishvilebis Tsikhe" some short but really nice love story just began…young, but really handsome boy follow our every step, showing a secret (unfortunately not open) doors. He also told us an illustrated (by a famous pictures on the walls) story about him, our Sophie (- his future wife and their beautiful child). Unfortunately he escaped as soon as he joined us…

The next and the best destination was Cinandali where we could find one of the most beautiful plant of wine in Georgia. Garden with a lot of different kind of all-time green trees. This view caused that the soul of real Tarzan (Spider-man?) came out of some of us!

…and some us decided to cheer up the broken <3 with the best wine ever…

And the best kiss ever ;)….

And best dogs ever <3

But every of us must agreed that the Telavi is a city full of Empty Houses and that was the biggest attraction for US <3.

In the next chapter you will see why…

Christmas in Sweden

Arrived to Sweden 20th of December after a long trip from Tbilisi - Riga - Stockholm - Gothenburg and then finally Vänersborg. It was really nice to meet all family and friends again after 6 months in Georgia.

Here is a picture of my family during christmas:

Beacause of the economic crisis we only invited 200 guests this year:

It feels nice to be back in Georgia!
