Couple Baby Steps

Took a couple baby steps towards independence this weekend.  Finally found the right slot to put the laundry detergent so clothes gets washed right away.  The last batch smelled ok so will go with them.  Hung clothes off the balcony without dropping them or leaning out too far; looks like a long way down.  Real high point, found an ATM that gives out only small bills.  These little Mom-n-Pop places can't handle the 100 and 50 gel bills.  Took a taxi down town and was able to walk half way across town and find my way home.  And talking about finding one's way home, went out with fellow teachers last night.  Had one, note ONE, glass of local white wine and then had to walk home very carefully!  Most drink the local beers, one even mixes hers with 7-up (that may be a Canadian thing).
