Surprise! We had no idea. Ran into our former KH Maintenance trainer couple from NH, Tom & Nancy C. On same flights. Maybe like 20 others Friends too? A guess, so far... Had to all put our badges on so we could know who the Friends are. Came in handy, as we had a gate change and could tell each other!

Trip to hotel was interesting. Lots to look at. A volunteer brother took us 2 couples to our nearby hotels in his van. He liked the horn & was using his tablet (for map directions). And he used bothЧитать далее

Our tour today was Uplistsikhe ( sounds like: Oop'-lisch-i-kah), an ancient fortress town all made in the native rocks. It was a semi-rigorous climb in the heat & intense midday sun, but we helpedЧитать далее

Was an old "Christian" church from like the 13th century, or so. Built on a pagan worship & living area. Interesting site, but we chose not to go up.

Lots of stairs. At least you did not have to try to scale that hughe rock.
