I was very happy with the location of our apartment in the old part of the city.This area has an interesting mix of crumbling old buildings with high doors,open balconies,courtyards,cobblestone streets ,bakeries and churches. There are churches at almost every corner .One can see smartly dressed people setting out for their daily chores and school children waiting for their school bus.You may get lost in the labyrinthine alleyways but I was not a bit concerned .Mother of Georgia could be seen from everywhere and she guided me .
This balcony reminded me of the famous balcony scene in Romeo and
Juliet.
