oberlin meets batumi

sally kintner, my beloved oberlin future housemate and past russian classmate and current crazy georgia/siberian-mate is visiting me in batumi. she arrived three days ago for a week of black sea swimming and gossip. we've been swimming and tanning and shopping, like any good tourist. we speak georgian, english and russian with most people for full communication, so that at any one time, no one understands everything being said. it's like old times for me. we've eaten a lot of khachapuri, a traditional georgian food- cheesey bread. today we went to the western supermarket and bought peanut butter and black currant jelly for a truly american meal to be eaten after this blog post (with milk, of course).

hope you're all doing well.
