Tbilisi is filled with cool art.
Here's a typical Georgian statue.
On the right is the inside of a Georgian church - there are probably hundreds
of churches in Tbilisi, and by all reports, they're wall-to-wall with paintings and
statues just like this and even more ornate and interesting.

Like most other countries around here, Georgia has a secessionist area - it's called
Abkhazia and the rebels there, armed by Russia, drove around a quarter of a million
Georgians out. These refugees, or "internally displaced persons" as they're called in
aid-relief lingo, took up residence in some of the bigger hotels of Tbilisi. Here's one of
them, with a statue of King David the Builder appropriately guarding the entrance.

There's also a McDonald's.

We climbed to the fort that used to guard the city. There was a great view and
we were happy to get there.
