Can't upload anything, too slow for pictures and my witty text is trying to be Cyrillic. You'll have to re-read old posts to tide yourselves over...
We're in Kutasi, Georgia, today, in the lovely sunshine. Spent a few days high up in the Caucasus mountains, in Mestia where the only restaurnt sells only bread stuffed with meat and cheese. Excellent place. Poor as all get out, though--hard to believe that this was the Soviet Union we grew up fearing! Mainly cows wandering the streets amidst the 4WD Ladas...
More when we have some wifi, though don't know when that might be. But all safe and sound and getting along fine so far. Potentially bush camping (no showers, no toilets) for 5 nights, unless the only hotel in Gori managed to suvive being shelled by the Russians last year. No one seems sure! They did promise adventure and exploration, the smelly bits are just a bonus.

David & Monica,
This is Jonathan Tallman, a friend of David's in high school. I just now caught up on your entries, and I have been thoroughly entertained. David's brother found me on Facebook and mentioned to me that you two were travelling the world and writing about it on a blog. Well, a Google search finally found it.
I am the Social Studies Dept. Chair at Belleville West, and I have passed your site on to one of the World Geography teachers. Although it is late in the year, he might consider using some of your details and pics in the classroom! Monica, your appreciation (and extensive knowledge)of History is quite impressive, and definitely adds to the narrative.
Anyway, love the blog, and be sure to stay safe.
ps. Belleville is near St. Louis, so hopefully we can meet up when you get our way!!
And one more thing, ask Dave if any of the travel companions have begun singing songs that only have the word "Dave" in it.
Jon
