Georgia 2013

We travelled into Sopeli again to harvest a row of grapes the first day and walnuts the next.  Sophie and Luca weren't as interested in the grapes, but hunting for walnuts resembled an Easter egg hunt, so they got involved.  Giorgi climbed high into the walnut tree and shook all of the branches one by one.  Walnuts rained down and we gathered them into buckets, making a contest of who could get the most the fastest.  I also learned that walnuts stain hands.  Mine remain an unsightly green and black as a reminder of our time in the village. 

The kids loved it there, playing outside all day only coming inside for bed at night.  The village girls were waiting for Sophie and she was in heaven.  Luca holds his own as can be expected by now.  Today is Sophie's birthday so I won't write more, but thought I'd upload some pictures for anyone who wants to see....
