Tbilisi Meanderings I: Old Town

Posted in Caucasus, Georgia, Peace Corps, photos, Republic of Georgia, Tbilisi, travel by sputnitsa on October 30, 2010
 I notice quite a few people stopping by searching for Tbilisi, and I realized I have all too few pictures up.  These below are a brief grab of Old Town photos. For the most part, I provide a snippet more info on each if you click on the photo.  I’ll put up some more from Old Town, Mount Kazbegi, Gori, Kvemo Kartli, etc.   I absolutely loved my time in the country–so if you’re thinking of visiting, or are perhaps a prospective Peace Corps Volunteer, or just want to know more, let me know what you’re wondering and I’ll be glad to answer! :)

      Georgia is chock-full of character :) Incredible place. Very dense and lively cultural heritage. And I also love the character of their architecture! Truly beautiful… And the beautiful albeit rundown Old Town is just exquisite…

      Lots to offer. And don’t get me started on their beautiful and rousing music and dance!!
      :) Beautiful country… :)

    The houses have broekielace on their stoeps! I thought only the old towns in the Karoo had houses with the pretty lattice work (broekielace) on their verandhas (stoeps)!

    A town I’m going to have to add to out travel list! So much history in those streets and walls

      Hi Judy! :)

      Absolutely, broekielace is huge in Old Town. It’s absolutely exquisite and charming. As you can see, it’s also run-down, but to that never detracted from the charm to me. Their courtyards are beautiful. And like you said, there’s so much history in the place! I remember my first impression was that history was living within those walls.

      One of the other posters included a link to his photos of Tbilisi; I checked them out and they’re rather lovely too.

      I had to look up the Karoo and its houses after your post–thanks for the intro :) Looks lovely :)

    The country is beautiful, but it pales in comparison to the warmth of the Georgian people!

    I always speak the truth :) and I am always right :)

      *is confunded*

      Oh wait. You must be a DIFFERENT JBro. I was thinking you were my crazy friend JBro. She may always speak the truth, but usually it is a crazy truth that, when it hits on right or wrong, always does so from the zaniest of angles. *nod*
