Destinations

Destination record

Tbilisi Session
Tbilisi, Georgia
Long leg1 Oct 2011 to 4 Oct 2011
Balconies, hills, wine, supra energy, and a very strong argument for future Caucasus return visits.
Stalin Birthplace Field Visit
Gori, Georgia
Short leg1 Oct 2011 to 4 Oct 2011
A day-trip association with enough historical weirdness to belong in the museum, handled with appropriate dryness.

Sulphur baths steam in cracked tile rooms; hillsides sag with balconies held by faith and twine. A supra toasts joy and regret until morning leaks in.
