Batumi and the Black Sea

After some time in Tbilisi and the mountains, I hopped into a 1980-era minivan and headed to the Georgia's tropical Black Sea coast. En route, many potential car accidents were very narrowly avoided and several thousand beads of sweat poured from my forehead (as there was no air conditioning), but eventually I made it here. Now you can vicariously like the experience!
