Interlude: Ushguli, mid-September 2010

 3 images from the topmost of Ushguli's 7 churches, Lamaria (St. Mary's).  Top, frescoes outside the main sanctuary; middle, that sanctuary itself; and bottom, a view down the village through a window of one of the complex's two Valhalla-style great dining halls.
I took a day trip to my former English teaching haunt with 2 visiting friends, who very kindly paid my way.  It was a joyous reunion with old friends.
