Indira's Party

Indira, the acting Chief of Party for the EMP Project that I work for, and her husband, Boka, were kind enough to invite a group of folks and their spouses from Chemonics, MoES and some of the consultants to their summer home about an hour outside of Tbilisi. They have a wonderful and peaceful place right next to a river and the experience was fantastic: great scenary, wonderful people and fantastic food!

Indira picked this hutch up for less than $200. The photo does not do this piece justice, it was simply beautiful.

Georgian's are very expressive people so it was wonderful to hear all the banter and stories as we ate. From time to time someone would do a toast and then we…
