Quiet Day in Tbilisi August 10, 2009

Having abandoned my plan to get to Istanbul, I could enjoy a visit to the countryside in Georgia. This entailed some old churches, a long hike, and a little adventure that I will save for later (with the Department of Internal Affairs--the only word I knew for sure was "criminalsky," but they did let me go on the rest of my hike after ten minutes of trying to ask questions in Georgian or something).

The flower seller above was not a happy lady, it seems, but her flowers were pretty.
