Dental Adventures in Georgia
I’m in the middle of a dental adventure! I discovered I had cracked a tooth on the evening of August 27th, here in Tbilisi Georgia. I called our travel insurance and happily it’s covered! I asked the insurance people if they could recommend an English speaking dentist here, and while they did, the one they recommended is closed till September 10th. Not so helpful. So I went on the local expats forum to ask, and found a recommendation from just a few days ago! Those folks apologized for being closed that day due to the big religious holiday (The Feast of the Dormition of the Mother of God) and asked if I could come in the next day at 3pm. I have never gotten a dental appointment that quickly from any of my regular dentists. I’m liking this.
La Paz Street Food
Our friend Elisa, who we met in Lima, introduced us to her friend Coral who does street food tours in La Paz! So we went out last night and even though it was a bit cold and a bit rainy we had a great time. She came by in her car, with her son to translate, and took us to a half dozen street food places. It was interesting that all of the shops and stands are run by women.
