Again we woke up early, but not quite as early as yesterday. We went to a big food market called the Dezerter Bazaar. It was organized chaos with large vans navigating small alleys lined with stands of fruit, vegetables, cheese, spices, and with some indoor spaces that had meat and fish. With pointing and the Georgian phrases Buster learned we picked out some cheese, strawberries, dried fruit, Georgian homemade fruit leather, pickled tomatoes, a Georgian candy made from a string of nuts dipped in thickened fruit juice (we got pomegranate and hazelnut), and bread hot out of the "tone" oven. The tone is a round oven with a fire in the bottom and they stick the bread to the inside walls of the oven. The only limitation to our pointing was indicating how many pickled tomatoes we wanted (1 tomato) so we ended up with 1 kilo. So we've met our pickled tomato quota for this trip. We hiked up to the botanical garden and got lunch but I might have to send a separate email to fit the pics in. |
