Last two days in Batumi, off-season. Wet, sick and lonely, that was the experience. Ear infection still at me from running with wet hair the week before. Walking the local market with Soviet-modernist blocks wrapped in iron plates so the sea humidity doesn't rot them. Marshrutka 28 down to the fish market, where they grill your Black Sea catch in the back room. Didn't eat the fish, kachapuri weather, not fish weather. Sunset at the promenade so strong you could barely look at it even through the clouds. One lari to use the jacks next to it, usually 50 tetri, tourist tax I suppose, tip for the babushka in stressful conditions. Pharmacy stop for antibiotics, no prescription needed in Georgia, the lady behind the counter approved my Turkish ones: "No, no Bangladesh. No, Turkey. Good." Later met Muhammad near the big fountain, he wanted to be on the video. Then rain hits. Dark cloud rolling in from Russia, like Russia was sabotaging my sightseeing of Batumi. Guruli pie and Imeruli khachapuri on the way home through Europe Square, every wet surface reflecting the lights. One of the cities you could live in, if you had the people.
