Travel The World

I took this picture from my balcony at 0630 this morning! I can't sleep anymore for fear I'll miss out on an opportunity to experience this unbelievable country!!

Turret between the buildings! Next to the mosque. Grapes grow everywhere here.  It's like the land of milk and honey!

Some typical T'bilisi architecture to include a corner apartment, a fortress, and a mosque downtown . . .

I will be posting miscellaneous pictures this week from in and around Tbilisi.  The Ananuri pictures will start going up on Friday when I send out my travelogue to friends/coworkers who don't normally view this site.  I don't post them all at once because, if you're similar to me, you can't handle so much beauty in such a large dose, right? Let's see, what else?  I will be posting some ethnograpic info on Georgia as soon as I get it from my friend. Oh! Did I mention how much I'm looking forward to going to work today in this lovely country? (I keep editing this post for some reason)  Pictures of note later this week will include a 1,600 old church, the oldest in Tbilisi with the interior still having the old Roman-style columns supporting the building.

Here are three pictures from the main town in this area focusing on the local church. I don't remember too many details though because I was still terribly jetlagged. I do know this was the location of the old capital of Eastern Georgia centuries ago.
