Giant Plane Tree

Oh, the Giant Plane Tree in Telavi! What a legend! Standing there, all gnarly and majestic, roughly 900 years old. Nine hundred years! Can you even imagine? If I were 900, I'd probably just be a pile of dust mumbling about how "back in my day, the internet wasn't a thing and squirrels respected elders." ​This tree, though? It's just chilling. It's seen empires rise and fall, countless kings parade by, probably witnessed the invention of Khachapuri – and it's still just, well, a tree. No mid-life crisis, no complaining about its roots aching, just sprawling branches and a silent, leafy wisdom. It doesn't even have a pension plan! ​I'd be demanding a golden plaque, free valet parking for my roots, and a team of professional leaf-polishers. Meanwhile, this ancient arboreal guru just stands there, providing shade, looking fabulous, and probably laughing silently at our frantic human existence. It's the ultimate "been there, done that" vibe, without ever actually doing anything but photosynthesis. So next time you're feeling old, remember this tree. Then remember you probably still have working knees. Mostly. And that's something, right? It's definitely better than being a fixed-location, slightly mossy, silent giant. Mostly.
