Tbilisi was full of crumbling grandeur, sculptures and statues... an amazing city.
A Georgian orchid just inside the Borjomi- Kharagauli (sp?) National Park. We'll be going back... you're welcome to join us!
A WILD peony growing in the forest.
Our old friend (Broomrape) in a new frock. On a river walk, near Borjomi springs.
Basma with Ramaz and Giorgi, our new friends from Slow Food Georgia .. at a khinkali restaurant (that's a delicious, juicy meat dumpling).
An old church on the Metekhi (sp?) river in downtown Tbilisi
Keith checking out some figs ... they were everywhere, but unfortunately unripe. Every spare corner, and every wall had a grapevine...
Basma in the botanic gardens.
A fairytale waterfall just a few minutes from downtown. Canadian urban planners, do you see this?
The view back towards the city from the gardens.
