SOCHI RUSSIA


In February . 3 months from now the Winter Olympics will be held in ands around the Russian city, Sochi. Sochi s at the eastern end of the Black Sea  and behind the city lies the the Caucasus Mountains, which contain Europe's highest mountain, Mount Elbrus.

This picture from the early 70s is a view from a Tea Plantation near Sochi. Obviously it was not winter. 


Sochi was a summer resort town in the days of the  Soviet Union and workers were allotted vacations there.
