Friday was a Georgian holiday so some Peace Corps friends and I took a trip to the 12th-century cave city of Vardzia. We spent Friday afternoon catting around tunnels and hidden passageways and checking out some of the hundreds of rooms carved into the stone. (Monks still live there, too!) So cool.
Being Peace Corps Volunteers, we decided to cheap out, er, camp out on the grounds/cattle grazing fields just below the mountain. This being Georgia, the guard's reaction was, But it's gonna be cold. And it's gonna rain.We established our little tent/tarp city at the base of the hill, found enough wood to make a decent campfire, strolled down the road to an OK restaurant (that may have given my friends food poisoning, alas) and listened from afar to a jolly supra complete with traditional music, and got rained on a bit and survived.
As a bonus, when I got home the water was back on and I have all day tomorrow still to goof off.
