A Change of Faith
... this was a striking change of tone. The border crossing was uneventful and was completed within an hour. There was a moment of confusion when some passengers waited on the gravel road between the two posts for the minibus. It turned out that the other post was just over the crest and was an easy walk over the bridge across the river that separated the two countries. We both got cheery "Welcome to Georgia!" from the immigration official. The US of ...
Wolves and tummy bugs
