It's a typical day in Batumi

It's a typical day in Batumi. Well I should say, it's a typical day on the weekend. I woke up between 9:30 and 10:00am, I love waking up late. I had some breakfast of Georgian bread and some delicious jam/jelly stuff that my host mom made from the Door County Cherries I brought as a gift. It was delicious! Go Wisconsin :)
Anyway... After breakfast, I went and got ready for my relaxing day. I was out of the apartment around 11:30 and then I was off walking in the direction of the Batumi Public Library, where I've been sitting for the past few hours. Catching up on facebooking, putting pictures up, emailing, etc. The usual when I get on the internet. I'm super grateful for the Library here, it's my link to the English speaking world! Haha :) Technically, I have the internet at my host families, but I would rather get out and get some exercise before sitting on my butt for hours.
What I have planned for the rest of the day: I'm going to attempt to find this little cafe where my host dad took me to have Adjarian Khacapuri a couple weeks ago. It was great! I'm totally craving it. It's not like I can't get Khacapuri anywhere else in the city... but this is the best I've had so far. This only bummer is, I totally forgot my money back at the apartment. Boo! Oh well. Next time. I just want to attempt to locate it. Then I'll probably walk back to my host family's place, along the Boulevard of course. Then, there will hopefully be enough water where I can take a decent shower. I just want to thank my mom for getting me the giant pack of wet-wipes to bring over here! They are definitely going to good use. Most of the time, there is only enough water to do a quick rinse... sometimes wash my hair. Not gonna lie, I'm missing my shower back home. Oh well, it's part of the experience, right? I can make do. I've managed pretty well so far!
There is something that I didn't expect before I came over here to Georgia... Surprisingly, I have a lot of downtime. During the week, I teach at Batumi N6 from 9am to noon or 1pm... Then the rest of the time I do my own thing. Most of the time, I just hang out with my host mom and watch Spanish Soaps that are dubbed in Georgian (those are huge over here!). I'm getting pretty stir crazy! I can only bum around for so long. I'm happy that the weather is getting better, the snow and rain has stopped enough that I can do some exploring, in my fabulous new rainboots! I definitely stand out in them, but I just can't walk through any more puddles without them.
Lately, I've been trying to figure out how to fill my downtime... I've come up with a few ideas.
-I'll be talking to the upper level English teacher tomorrow to see if the older kids, mainly the 12th graders, want any extra help with their English after school. I say, "mainly the 12th graders," because I know they have exams coming up at the end of the year that will affect their futures. I'm completely open to helping anyone who wants extra help though! I'll just put some feelers out there.
- Well, my mom will be happy to hear that I have downtime to plan out the next steps of my future when I come home. I've been thinking about that a lot.... What am I going to do after this? Where do I go when I get home? Most of the time my mind goes blank... If anyone has any ideas of what I should look into, let me know! :)
- Surprisingly there are a lot of Government buildings in the area where my family lives, I haven't found the American Embassy yet, I know there is one here! But I just haven't seen it. Maybe they need volunteers?
- The other day, I stumbled upon a giant white building that had one word on it "ARCHIVE". Maybe someone there speaks English and I could possibly put my history degree to use ;)
- I have plenty of time, I can finally start running again. I think my first attempt for that will be this week. I'm gonna do it! (Just have to get myself pumped up)

Other than those ideas, I'm not sure what I'll do. If any of you out there wanna give me some tips... I'll take them!

Well, until next time. Adventure is out there! (Definitely hiding from me at this point)
