Go, me! Can’t say I’m retaining much – and certainly can’t hold a conversation, but at least I’m getting more familiar with Arabic letters

A very warm vendor on our food tour – who, despite the shy smile, is a fantastic purveyor of spices & sauces – and a hell of a walnut brandy maker.

Soviet architecture tour – here, an abandoned archaeology museum project near the site of an important grave find that dates habitation in this area back to when humans were using clay pot burials. Now it houses friendly stray puppers.

Took an excellent wine tour – sampled wines in the traditional Georgian style (seeds, stems & skins left in to naturally ferment) & Georgian wine made in the European style (seeds, stems & skins removed), watched a Nana make clay oven bread, learned how to make Kachapuri (Georgian cheesy bread), visited a nunnery, walked the wall in the town of love (where you can get married in Georgia only), and had an excellent lunch. It was a full day but a fun one.
