We are slowly starting to settle into the Georgian way of life...we just wish the weather would sort itself out! One day it's 25 degrees and the next day it's cold and raining which is shortly followed by snow :( It also doesn't help when we see on the news that England has experienced some of the warmest days in March on record! We must admit that our time so far has not been without its challenges. The language barrier probably being the one that is most appar...

Hello from a snowy, snowy, cold, chilly Georgia :( That's right, it's March and we have snow again. It's very strange weather over here as last week on Joe's Birthday, we had highs of 17degrees! So because of the lovely white stuff we had to cancel our trip to Kutaisi.

Greetings from Zugdidi! Wow, so much has happened in the last few days so we may have to give you all the shorter version, so here it is! Monday - A co-teacher from Joe's school came to pick us up from the hotel to take us to Zugdidi. She was extremely nice and we enjoyed the passing scenery on our 7hour journey. Arrived at our host lady's house, she speaks very little English! The house is big but extremely cold. We teach her a little English and get an early ...
