Great Winter Weekend

This last weekend was a jam packed one in Tbilisi. I had two meetings on Friday, and a weekend planned with my friends for Lacey's birthday.

The meetings were for the girls camp I am working on for June, and the other for the women's committee I am on for Peace Corps. This week is Mother's Day (March 3) and International Women's Day (March 8) here, so we have an essay contest planned and a website 'launch' for our committee.

After the meetings on Friday about 10 of us went to the Turkish baths. We had rented out a private room which had a sauna, a hot pool, cold pool, and leather couch sitting lounge. There was also a bed in a curtained area....none of us were even really interested in touching that part of the room. All in all it was a good experience and really nice when it was so cold outside. Saturday we got some manicures (my nails are currently silver, bright shiny metallic silver....I feel like a one year old because I can't stop staring at them sometimes...oo shiny) and then all the girls got dressed up and we took some 'photo booth' style pictures. We had a good dinner, then drinks on the top floor of a hotel, and then off to some other bars. A great weekend, and it was full of cold and snow too!

Snowing in Old Tbilisi...yes we're all in dresses.
You would be proud to know we all managed to climb over a slippery snowy fence in these too.
