2019 Eurasia Adventure - The Son of Exploring Tbilisi

Today is our last day in the Georgian capital. I pulled up a blog I had researched before our trip about 9 neighborhoods to walk in for street photography. Damn if we hadn't already done 6 of them. So I mapped out a walk of our own that would include the Vera neighborhood we are staying in, crossing over the Mtkvari River to the Marjanishvili neighborhood. It was a day of classic (at least for Wife and I) city wandering taking in the feel of place.

The first of a lot of street art today

It is cleaning day

Variation on a theme by Wife

Continuation on themes from yesterday on the state of decay and gradual, very gradual, restoration of older buildings

 

 

It's laundry day too

The Marjanishvili Bridge

(It also has a couple of other names like most bridges and squares here)

Looking down the Mtkvari River

 Into the Marjanishvili district

Designed by a famous architect

The district's main street

A Russian Orthodox Church

A site that is a converted Soviet era factory

Turned into a totally modern hipster complex

Co-working space? Check

Millennial/Hipster space with requisite uncomfortable furniture

Millennials in deep conversation

Millennial Moms capturing Gen something children

More street art

More 19th century buildings

Most in need of renovation

 Another example of the communal balconey

 

 

A vintage car

Recognizing he has been captured by notorious blogger

Saw this beautiful chandelier in a wine shop but couldn't go in to take a picture because they were busy loading inventory

Statue of Alexander Griboedov

A vaguely familiar street art scene

Closing with Ye Olde Tourist Restaurant street

With 50 restaurants selling exactly the same menus 

But No.Wait.

SIGNS OF THE WORLD 

Where do you think all the teeth that are extracted or lost by children go?

A happy place
