The resort town of Borjomi is famous for the astounding health benefits of its mineral water. The bottled Borjomi water is pretty palatable, but the stuff you get straight from the spring is nauseatingly sulfurous, especially on a hot day.
Borjomi manages to blend the atmosphere of a tranquil resort and a creepy, run-down soviet amusement park. This makes it totally awesome. We stayed at a sanatorium called, "Joint Stock Company Sanitorium 'Firuza.'" The name isn't very catchy, but it is an actual soviet-era sanitorium and is run that way. Even better, we only paid $18 for the night.
We didn't see many of the sights but instead took advantage of the covered swimming pool inside the park. Unfortunately, i misplaced Sierra's pants, and she had to wear my swimming trunks home. Later that night, we ran into one of the extremely kind workers, and she mimed to us that the pants were recovered. Well, either that, or that it's cool to cut off your legs, depending on your interpretation of her gestures. At any rate, we got the pants back.
