Batumi

After very short notice about 100 TLG(Teach and Learn with Georgia) Volunteers were shuttled to Batumi to see a play courtesy of the President. The play was Keto and Kote. It is like Romeo and Juliet but with a happy ending. It is a very old Georgian play but the version we saw at the new opera house was a new modern take on the performance. It was okay as a performance. Nothing great. It was kind of weird and entirely in Georgia but they did have English projected above the stage so we could kind of follow what was going on. After the play we were taken to dinner(this being around midnight of course). It wasn't great but it was food. About 10 of us stayed up almost the whole night just talking and drinking wine. I think I finally fell asleep around 6AM. And now I am up and waiting in the lobby of our hotel. We were supposed to leave about 30 minutes ago but that didn't happen so who knows when it will actually happen. I wish we had more time to actually see the city and take pictures. I also wish the president had even acknowledged our existence while we were at the play but that didn't happen either. Our coordinators were slightly upset about that but it's okay. I think we're leaving soon. So peace out. Until next time.
