Decaying old houses amidst the pricey real estate of central Tbilisi
Fortress in the morning light
Downtown Tbilisi
A restaurant, I think?
Interesting parking job outside wine shop.
Assorted veggie concoctions sprinkled with pomegranate seeds
I try not to be limited by my fear of heights, but sleeping on the uppermost bunk was terrifying
This brewery fills a plastic bottle with your choice of beer, then transfers it to a pint glass. Maybe it helps with the foam?
Church in a tree
Most colorful drive-thru ever
Walking along a "disused" railroad track
A weird thing to have to tell people
Mushroom fajita
Iron-rich spring
Bean quesadillas and everpresent tomato/cucumber salad.
This pig followed me for some minutes and halfheartedly posed for all my pictures
Shrine outside my guesthouse room
Butterflies sure do love poop
Awash in a flurry of poopy butterflies.
A lot of rules for a mountain hut
Glacier
Veggie dinner in the station diner
This theater only plays one movie, five times a day.
Mother-in-law tower
Someone weaponized this cow by affixing a board with nails to its face.
Every single car that passed this accident stopped to help - eventually a ring of about 30 guys carried it to a field on the other side of the road.
Night train from Tbilisi to Baku
Azerbaijan has its share of burkas, but they certainly aren't the norm in Baku
Caspian coastline
The Flame Towers
"Highest village in Europe"
This village had giant poop masonry works on every corner, presumably for heating/cooking.
All dressed up and nowhere to go
Cozy 4-across 2-hour minibus ride
Pizza Hut started in the States, but we've somehow missed out on all their most innovative menu options.
Random hotel
Breakfast at tea shop
Hunter's cafe, complete with shotgun shells
Pottery artisan workshop
Winter palace
