In Georgian towns you are never more than a few hundred meters away from a little grocery store. Large super markets like the ones common in North America are very rare. Instead, most purchases are made at these little markets which actually sell a surprisingly wide variety of products. Stacks of boxes of in-season fruits and vegetables seem to spill onto the sidewalk from the shop door. Yummy!
Our numerous grocery shopping trips were definitely one of the main highlights of our stay in Batumi.
One evening we purchased some Chacha (Georgia's national drink, very similar to Macedonia's Rakia) from an old lady in a little shack just down the street. You just had to tell her how much you wanted of what drink and she then measured that amount into one of her many recycled bottles. Ours was a pretty little glass Coca Cola bottle. Gaurmajos! Cheers!
