Sophomores Field Trip to Uplitsikhe

       We explored the remains of the ancient city, including the cave rooms, pathways, and the church. The weather was perfect, and the view  was beautiful. 

There were many tourists around. Some started taking pictures of us, while others even asked to take pictures with us, which definitely made the trip more memorable. After about an hour and a half of exploring, we made our way back through the secret passage. By then everyone was tired and really thirsty so we rushed to the nearest shop to buy water.

Ten minutes later we got to Kaklebi. We ate, talked, played volleyball, jumped on the trampoline, and spent time with a very friendly dog that quickly became popular with everyone. It was a nice break after the hike and gave everyone a chance to relax and have fun.

We left Kaklebi at about 3:30 PM and began the long journey back to school. Traffic made the ride much longer than expected and to make matters worse one of the buses broke down. Some students moved onto the other bus while others had to take taxis back home. Coincidentally, the same thing happened on our last trip, making it feel somewhat like a field trip tradition.

          We finally returned back to school around 6 pm. Although the ride was exhausting, the trip itself was full of good memories. From exploring Uplitsikhe and its beautiful views to spending the day together at Kaklebi, it was a day that the sophomores will definitely remember.
