Tbilisi-A Day Tour

Yesterday we took Mom and Dad out into Tbilisi for a day tour of old town, the Holy Trinity Cathedral and Rustavelli.  We started off the day in old town near the sulfur baths.  David, our tour guide, took us back around the baths to the waterfall and then up into the hills of old town to the fortress. It was quite a hike for this pregnant lady but I'm hoping it brings labor on sooner rather than later.

We spent a little time at the fortress exploring and then took the cable car down, probably the highlight of Mara's day.  From there we walked to a great little wine bar for a rest and enjoyed glasses of red wine (hot chocolate for me) while we got our legs under us again.  Then it was onto lunch at a little out of the way spot that David recommended.  The food was a tad expensive but really tasty.

The Holy Trinity Cathedral was also on our list and we toured all three floors of this beautiful church while Mara snoozed in our arms.  The tour ended with a driving tour of Rustavelli, the main downtown street in Tbilisi.  Some day we'll take them back here and check out the museums and art galleries closer.

Overall it was a great day exploring the city.  Even Josh and I enjoyed the tour as we visited a lot of sites we hadn't yet.
