The Best Homestay a Girl could Ask for

Off to stay with Yulia and her two kids and my favorite Nanny. 

Yulia had a spare bedroom in her place and since it was a love at first sight friendship-she offered for me to come stay with her and the kids, which I was so excited about as I love all of them. 

We had some fresh mint and thyme tea together and had our own separate things to work on. She made a lovely chicken curry with a cucumber salad and a chicken noodle soup-delicious! I felt like I could eat double the portion because I was so excited about homecooked food, but I just ate like I normally would and was beyond satisfied.

It was a pleasure spending time with the baby and the nanny. The baby would pick up various objects and give them to me. She had such a big smile and was so happy to see me every time she entered the room.

While watching Yulia try to eat dinner while the baby would want to try everything she was eating or would spit out food she didn’t like-I thought perhaps this motherhood thing is not for me. I guess I had the window of time where I was desperate to have a child(a boy) and perhaps the time has passed for me.

Time will always tell and God will make a way if that is his plan for my life.

 

It was Friday night game night for Yulia and all our new friends at her favorite Bar Bar Hotel. The temperature had dropped outside making it cold and rainy so I decided to stay inside and WRITE.

I spent time with the nanny, Mano, a lovely well dressed, classy, fun spirited beautiful woman. She is 50 years old and has two sons that are in their 30s. She now spends her days as a nanny and she loves to dance and laugh. I just love her energy. She started playing Russian songs (romantic ones and dancing ones). We were dancing away with the baby and she listened to my favorite Bollywood songs. I was teaching her my Indian dance moves and she said she loves my dancing. 

“Where did you learn these moves?” 

I said, "I was born to dance." 

She smiles and we are just dancing around one another smiling and laughing.  I absolutely looove these Russian songs she is playing- Russian music is great. 

Denis also came out and he was showing off his breakdancing moves and sharing his favorite songs. It was such a fun little family time that I was craving.

I guess this is what a family is really like....and I was grateful to be added as a temporary member. 

She tells me I must come for Christmas and New Years as she makes the best cake and we can dress up together and dance more. Love You Mano!

Yoga and Futbol

  I told Denise that I would play soccer with him and his friend Armen. I walked to the train station and got some information about the train and they told me it was a night train, which I had no interest in me staying up all night on a train. I took Denise and we walked over to the park. As soon as we arrived, we were bombarded by all these kids that wanted to play with us on the field that had parts of it missing almost to the point of tripping and falling over it, but clear goals were there and a good space. The one kid was very cute as he spoke great English and he gave me instructions on what team I was on, when I would play, and when I would be goalkeeper. There was a couple kids playing with no shoes who were very eager to win and they kept scoring. When their father told them, it was time to come home I was so thrilled because then we could just play the four of us, but then an older kid, aka named himself Messi, came into the mix. He was just taking over the ball, not...

It's a Brand New Day

This is the day the Lord has gave me; let me rejoice and be glad!  After I showered and got dressed for my day, I walked down the spiral staircase to see Nelly smiling up at me. Nelly made me eggs with carrot salad and bread.  She gave me some extra carrot salad, which was against the rules lol   I really do not talk enough about food, but i am used to just eating local food all the time. I eat at local shops, grocery stores, and inside homes if I have the opportunity.   I love local food, but I am definitely not a Foodie or very good at food description, but I do take great photos of local food, which I will share! I decided to start my bus adventure not realizing what I was up for.... Armenian buses are not like Georgia- they are way more challenging. No signs with the numbers coming, no time tables, no stops, no clue at all and Google maps is not helpful at all….So why take the bus again? For the adventure.  It is called “The Armenian blind bus ridin...

Jazzing up the Last Night

  It was my last night in Tbisli and I thought I could hang out with my favorite person Mr. Latvia, but he weas working late and was not sure he could make it out. SO I went to the Jazz show by myself and it was fantastic. I visited a very upscale boutique hotel and had a glass of wine and a wine shop with a lovely girl who let me a try a few different reds and we were talking about Georgian men…why are they so weird…we don’t know lol, but this beautiful girl was staying single. These were my last moments to enjoy Georgian wine as India was far from a wine country…it was a no drinking zone most of the time. After a glass of wine and a few tastes of wine, I was really enjoying myself and I said, “Hey why not keep this night going.” I ended up taking a Yandex to another hotel bar and thought I would have my last drink there and then “Goodbye Georgia.” That ended up being “Good bye Iphone” because I left my Iphone on the seat in the taxi… Another reason why I do not like t...
