After being in Armenia for 8 continuous months, I had to get out. I went to Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia. Here are a few pictures.
This is a view from the top of Narikala Fortress. The fortress was established in the 4th century, but the structures that stand now date from the 18th and early 19th centuries.
You can see the world's 3rd tallest Eastern Orthodox Church through the crenellation of one of the fortress towers.
One of the walls of Narikala fortress.
Tbilisi is one of the coolest cities that I have ever seen at night. Narikala Fortress at night.
Globalization at its finest.
These are the domes that cover some of the famous sulphur baths of Tbilisi. According to legend, a Georgian king was hunting with a falcon and his falcon injured a pheasant. The pheasant fell into a hot spring and was fully cooked by the time the king retrieved it. The king then decided to build a city around the springs.
The Holy Trinity Cathedral of Tbilisi. It is the 3rd tallest Eastern Orthodox Church in the world.
There are signs like this throughout the city. Becoming part of NATO would infuriate Russia.
I can get sushi in Armenia as well, but this meal was the best meal that I have had since leaving the promised land of the United States of America.
