Above, a surprising street scene.
Below, here’s a view of part of the spa complex. The blue building on the right is the one I used, the fanciest (read most expensive) one according to the guide. The domed buildings to the left are each individual spas with different features. (I had better pictures of the domes on previous days.)
I took the deeelux package with a private room, a big private sauna, a hot and cold sulfur pool, and a bench for the scrub.
And below is the walk to the massage room arranged like a western-style massage. Yup, it was good. Better than the Korean spas in LA? I don’t think so really, more luxurious for sure, but not better. A joy nonetheless.

You never know what you’re going to find when wandering around a capital city.
I thought I was going to the National Art Museum but somehow I ended up in the Georgian Museum of Fine Arts, a very different place! Here there were four or five floors all similarly laid out each room containing the work of one Georgian artist, none of them had I ever heard of before. It was interesting and I’m not sorry to have given it a go.

Across the street from the museum is the Parliament Building where the protested have gathered almost every night these last couple weeks. People were starting to appear on the steps and police cars were parked along the side streets. I decided to leave the area.
You can see the Parliament Building in both these pictures which have been widely distributed on the internet.
The main statue in the center of Freedom/Liberty Square. Protestors have been marching from the Parliament Building into this square that is now being boarded off by municipal workers and the police.
I am a big fan of food dispensed from a window.
Here’s where I turn to get back to my flat. It makes me smile every time despite the broken hearts.
