Today I went to Batumi Park. In the park there is a zoo, a lake with pedal boats in swan shape, and a dolphinariam. After walking around the lake, and through the zoo, taking photos, I attended a performance by the dolphins at the dolphinariam. Quite talented those dolphins. The “trainer” told us that you don’t actually train dolphins. You find out what they enjoy doing and then encourage them to do it at the time you want. He said that everything that was in their act, was things that they enjoy doing. They often come up with new stunts to add to their act all on their own.
1. The colonnades are located at the entrance to the park.
2. A statue if Amelia Earhart is located between the colonnades. She holds a replica of her plane in one hand.
3. A statue to a Batumi war hero is next. I can’t read Georgian so I can’t tell you more.
4. By this time I was tired so I bought a soft pretzel and a cup of coffee americano.
5. 6. 7. 8. 9. I took many photos of the hotel and high rise apartments that surround the lake.
10. The beach is covered with smooth stones. They cleverly used them to construct this fence.
Today I took the number 10 bus to the Botanical Gardens. Don’t take the 10A because it doesn’t go that far. It was a beautiful day, one of Batumi’s 300 beautiful days each year.
A big shout out to the people who follow me. Unfortunately I’ve had to leave Russia. It became impossible to receive any funds from the US. I am currently living in Batumi, Georgia.
This is my family in the living room of my apartment in Kimovsk, Russia. I am a disabled Vietnam veteran. Seventy eight years of age. My son Aleksandr (left), and my granddaughter Dasha (center) look in on me. Here, I had hoped to live out my retirement years.
