Sochi, Russia

After leaving Trapazon, Turkey, we sailed into Sochi, Russia, home of the 2014 Winter Olympics. We found the city's public areas very beautiful and quite clean.  After walking along the water front area, we traveled to a tea plantation in the near by hills.  Here we enjoyed refreshments, including some wonderful Russian tea and some local dancers in traditional costumes.  Nothing was said about the conflicts with the situation in the Ukraine, except a comment by our guide that dealing on a personal basis we seem to get along well.  It is the people in government that can't work together.  Below are some lovely pictures of our stay:
