Batumi, Georgia


Приморский парк
БАТУМИ

I believe this means Primorsky Park, Batumi. Postmark dated (I think) 04-97412 and judging by the address it was sent to, I guess 1974 is the year. The stamps are Posta CCCP because that was well before the USSR broke up.

The message reads:

"Came to Sorchi after spending four days in Moscow..... Return home on Sunday after Leningrad."

Interesting. I don't know who sent it or why they were travelling in the USSR in those days.
