I hiked the mountains around Beshumi village with a tent for sleeping outdoors. Breathtaking beauty of the purest nature with sudden weather changes from clear sky to dense humidity and touchable mist were following me all the trip. One night was spent under horrendous thunderstorm and rain close to the mountain peak, I love so much trilling memories when remembering that sleepless night in a soaking tent. Some families from Beshumi and other big villages have summer farmhouses uphills with unlimited pasture areas, they move there for summer season with all their livestock. The grandchildren of peasants love so much visiting the summer houses, there is a lot of fun and boundless playing area for them. The hospitality of these highland village householders really impressed me, their local tasty cuisine is amazing and the most tasty coffee in my life I tried right in these summer villages. The sun in midday was dangerous, it literally baked my face and hands, because I neglected the sunscreen, so the only place to hide from burning sun for several hours in Adjarian mountains was to go to the local houses. God bless the heritage and peaceful lifestyle of these gorgeous people.
