At the farewell dinner on our last night in Khashuri, Nora, Melissa, Caitlin, Von, Eric, and Ian (the Kvishkheti cluster) said goodbye to the past 2.5 months of Peace Corps training with their version of "My Favorite Things". :)
July 11, 2013.
Raindrops on roses and ბირჟას on corners,
Beautiful mountains and feeling like foreigners,
Brown paper packages that Ruso brings,
These are a few of my favorite things.
When the ძაღლი bites, when the კოღო stings,
When I'm smelling bad, I simply imagine that
Tengo is there and then I don't feel so sad!
Peanut butter candies and warm apple strudles,
That's what I'll think of when I'm having noodles... again,
Fondly remembering friendships and flings,
These are a few of my favorite things!
When the virus hits, when I'm oozing pus... again?!
When I'm feeling ცუდად... I simply remember 599 97 33 88,
And then I don't feel so baaaahhhddd!
Days in Kvishkheti ჩვენ მეგობრებთან,
(boys): And them not minding I have the same shirt on,
(girls): Being called კარგი გოგო by my ბებია who clings,
These are a few of my favorite things.
When the shower's cold, and the cheese has mold,
When I miss friends I had, I simply remember that
Lela is near... and then I don't feel so bad!
