Today I awake in a country that I know almost nothing about.

I am in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia. I know the weather will be gloriously warm and that there is a threat of rain and thunder (related to the gloriously warm). I know that we are between the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea and that it took 3 hours and 35 minutes from Astana. I have heard that there are lots of monasteries perching precariously on hilltops and lots of churches. I do know that Georgian food is delicious (particularly the katchapuri – cheesy bread).

So first trip today is to the Georgian Orthodox Churches equivalent to the Vatican.

Let’s see what else I know as the day goes by…
