Uplistsikhe, a cave city founded 1000 BC near Gori.
Our taxi driver who also took care of our physicall well-beeing after we arrived in Gori at 7 am with the overnight train from Batumi. The Wolga he imported from Ukraine 23 years ago.
A huge nameless stature on the central square of Gori of one of the most famous sons of Georgia: Stalin. He was born here and the town still practices a way of whorshipping him that simply ignores the cruelty of this man responsible of millions of death.
Stalin in the Stalin Museum. The museum is huge, almost like a temple and ends with the conference of Yalta...
Kids playing soccer on the streets. In every yard the vine was ripening, hanging over the street. They say its only two weeks left for the new wine to be ready. Looking forward to that!!
Evening light on a fortress overlooking the town of Gori.
Dogs are everywhre, here we met some very playfull ones. In other places, specially in the mountains, they can be quite scarry.
The entrance of the very impressive and still affordable Intourist Hotel. Only half of one floor was renovated, devided from the rest by a large curtain. We had a nice day here, spend mainly in bed because Philipp got his share of the usual georgian stomach problem. We all had it, some of us more then once and by now it makes a great small talk topic...
