Stepantsminda

After all the hiking we did we mostly relaxed at the cabin today. It was supposed to rain but it was sunny all day! The view from the porch is amazing so we read and tried some more Georgian wine. Here are some pics of the foods we've tried in Stepantsminda. It's many of the same dishes we've had at other places such as the eggplant and walnut rolls and various barbecued meats (including the most imposing shish kebab I've ever seen). We tried some things we haven't had yet, like chicken in cream and walnut sauce and a regional specialty that is bread stuffed with cheese and nettles.The khachapuri we had in Stepantsminda is the best one I've had so far! There are tons of cows and sheep everywhere here so the meat and dairy is extremely good. After dinner yesterday we were walking back at the same time that all the livestock were returning home. I will send a funny video of a cow demanding to be let into her barn in a separate email. Ed. note: I'll make the video available as soon as I find the best way to do it. It is funny.
