Imereti, Chiatura and Kutaisi



Back from Western Georgia with a veteran of WWII and former POW in Chiatura I added a couple of Kilos thanks to the superb Georgian food and dishes.

On the above photo in a Restaurant at Geguti outside of Kutaisi I had my best Ojakhuri (Backed potatoes mixed with beef) in my life. The owner JUSA was a very kind guy, who brang next morning the best Kababi with cold beer...

Landslide Church Mleta
