This Week Santa I've spent the holidays in Georgia, but not in the U.S., but in the heart of the Caucasus. I have traveled, along with one of my children to see my husband who is working there.

Georgia is among the North Caucasus or Greater and Lesser Caucasus, along the Black Sea. Its capital is Tbilisi, Tbilisi in English. The name of this city comes from the ancient Georgian language and means "hot" by the sulphurous waters that flow from the hot springs found in a part of the city. Some of these medicinal waters turn all the legends that speak of its founding.

has been a country with only periods of peace. When not under attack Turks, the Persians were given that no one attacked them were fighting among themselves. It is a warlike people by nature. Maybe that's why they have not known what their strengths and ended as the war in August 2008 against the Russians, in addition to nearly 900 deaths and more than 150,000 refugees, have had trouble losing 20% \u200b\u200bof its territory with the two republics have become independent, but only recognize Russia, Venezuela, Nicaragua and some other country of that wave.

The truth is that I did not expect so much history and naturale za in a small country. We saw churches everywhere, some even with pillars of the fourth century, and as curiously, many of them fortified. They look at the frescoes on the walls images of warrior monks and interestingly, the cross is represented by all parties and now in the country's flag is the Templar cross.

Tbilisi, is built on the river Mtkvari (Kura) and are all cost because the river is squeezed between mountains. He was part of the route Silk and you can find some of the sulfur baths that differs from others because it looks like a building of Samarkand. Sameba Church Cathedral is impressive and dominates the city. Inside is a precious icons.

When you cross the streets, you realize that there's nobility in his day, with buildings nobles and rich facade decorations. It works everywhere. First by the injection of money received from international agencies and second and main reason, because they have municipal elections in May and works are the current mayor's election campaign.

Already in the following posts I'll tell you more things and posting pictures.
