Riverside picnic


After we had our fill swimming and catching fish, we retired to a most lovely spot where the water gently surged out of the dam into a winding river. I must say we were thoroughly impressed by our friend's culinary skills. He basically cooked and prepared an entire supra for us by the river. We just watched and enjoyed (he would allow little else).

The only tragedy is that I didn't get a picture of the final feast; an ominous cloud cover was moving in, so after a very leisurely afternoon, we finished up the supra with haste and felt the first raindrops as we pulled out in our car. Perfect timing.


























We feasted on roasted pork, fried fish (we caught), mchadi (corn cakes), imeruli (salty cheese), carrot salad, sauteed mushrooms and onions, choti bread, watermelon (kept cold in the river), cherries, Georgian mineral water, fresh air, and sunshine.

It was, as I said, a perfect day.
