Georgia - Batumi 1 April

Fatma telefonunu bagajda unuttu. Uçakta Maria Zırtovaska'nın eliyle gıdığını örttüğü ve bakışlarını uzaya çevirdiği fotoğraflarına güldük. Volkan Batum'da marketten çıkarken vodka almadı nitekim damga yemek istemedi. Dağlara çıktık. Ceren 'vay be' dedi. Hayat, nereden nereye oldu. Patates ve ekmek ve peynir yemekten bıktık. Sonra Volkan'la denizi aradık. Denizi bulduğumuzda bir saat adama bunun deniz olduğunu anlattım. Inanamadı çünkü denizi görmüyorduk, sisn ve sessiz uzun bir sahilin içinde yapayalnızdık.
