While Leila organized, this woman watched over and made sure we were aptly supplied with honey and water cocktails and honey for our matsoni (Georgian yogurt).
A sampling of the other passengers crammed into the jeep with us from Zugdidi to Mestia. The women were more than a bit wary of us at first. But by the end of the trip, they offered us food, kisses, and even lip gloss (for Audrey, of course).Read about our visit to Svaneti and the rest of our visit to Georgia.
Dan is surrounded by the instant feast presented to us at the market in Zugdidi - lobio (Georgian beans), vegetables, bread, cheese, followed by yogurt mixed with honey and turkish coffee. Such a surprise. Such a treat.www.uncorneredmarket.com/2007/06/a-surprising-feast-in-zu...

Not quite 900 years old...but rather nine years old. The tower still captures the spirit of Svaneti. The brothers who built it - Koba and Kakha - are a good source of information on Svaneti. Stop by, climb the tower, check out the pigeons in the roof, and have a chat.www.uncorneredmarket.com/2007/06/a-surprising-feast-in-zu...
