Today I went on another long walk. This time we were with a tourist. We went on a walk to Mother Georgia, we also got to see her up close. I took a lot of pictures. Views, mountains, Mother Georgia, cactus.

We hired a local guide to give us a tour of Tbilisi’s Old Town. Most of the city was destroyed in 1795, so most of the area was built in the 19th century: lots of wooden and iron balconies and pastel stucco houses, in varying states of decay–it was very reminiscent of New Orleans. We walked for nearly four hours through town, up to Narikala fortress, and to the 20 m. high aluminum statue of Mother Georgia, past several churches, a synagogue and a mosque, and the hot spring baths from which Tbilisi gets its name. The kids were great troupers throughout.
