Some sites from Tbilisi

These are just a few interesting and nice pictures from the capital city, Tbilisi.

 The large building with the glass dome in the center diamond is the president’s residence.  This is a view from one of the hostels we stayed at on one of our trips to Tbilisi.

 

This is at a place they call the dry bridge in the capital city where they sell many old Soviet relics.  I have not been there yet without being asked by at least one person if I am German, and every person speaks to me in Russian initially.  I usually have to say at least 4 times in Georgian please speak Georgian and not Russian for them to actually believe me.  The sign in the window of this car says it is for sale for $700 dollars.                    

This is one of the most beautiful buildings in the city, the parliament building all decorated for Christmas!

This is Rustavi Street, one of the most prominent streets in the city.  Dare I say it actually almost looks like the Champs-Élysées?

McDonald's worldwide tend to have special dishes depending on the local cuisine.  They also have certain decorations very specific to the regions.  Here in Georgia, it is 2 orthodox churches at the base of the arch.

 As an ardent fan of HGTV in the states I was more than thrilled to see a vertical garden outside of the Avlabari (what the Georgian letters say) Metro station!
