Adjara. Shpana on stilts

Your children do not tear the priests off the couch and stare at the phone for days? Send them to a mountain village in southern Georgia, there they will find something to do!

So, we are in Adzharia, in the remote mountain village of Mtsvane, spent the night by the lake with the same name, collected bicycles in the morning and set off.

The direction is in the direction of the Goderdzi pass, but we'll see.

But now, finally, the weather improved, the rain stopped and we ride bicycles past small villages and individual houses belonging to the shepherds.

Sometimes we came to the attention of local people, but they were in no hurry to get in touch - they don’t speak Russian here. They followed each other with long looks and smiles.

Something these villages reminded me of Laos, the same trampled soil and houses collected by God knows from what materials. Only in Laos, I rode a motorcycle, and now on a bike.

I noticed many times that the sites here are completely arbitrary in shape, as, apparently, the owner wanted to, and fenced.

Passing by one village, I see three boys walking towards to meet with a ball and strange sticks in their hands.

But after a moment it became clear that these are not sticks, but real stilts!

I just remember in childhood we did something similar and we had the lower part of the stilts higher, and not such stumps)

This is because in our yard there was a guy who studied at the circus, practiced and communicated with us.

I didn’t succeed, I did not understand that my hands had to pull them on ourselves so as not to fall.

Well, these pros! Can anyone you want to arrange a master class.

One, however, was stray, waiting in line.

But he had an old, bursting soccer ball - also a considerable value.

By the way, showers here are not weak, streams flow from the mountains, dirt roads erode, so stilts, perhaps not only for the game)

This guy, despite his purely Slavic appearance, did not understand a word and did not speak Russian. As, however, the other two boys.

And they also have such a beautiful snow-white dog, a universal favorite.

In these parts there is no way without a dog, there are plenty of wolves, you cannot keep track of a herd without a dog.

I don’t understand the rocks, but logically there should be a Caucasian.

We say goodbye to the boys, we go on.

Well, would they send their children to such a village for the summer? )
