July 9th and we went to Sighnaghi. This is a walled hill-town that has been done up and gentrified and is a draw for artists and tourists.


Most people like it, but I felt that, while pretty, it was rather artificial – like a mini-Disney World. Perhaps that was the inspiration.

Marina did not come, but Erica, Mako, Valeri
and Giga did. (Erica is taking the picture.)

City walls.

We went to a restaurant with a great view. The food pretty good too! We took lots of pictures – most of which were lousy!

Gill and Diana behaving.

The camera was straight (more or less) -
it’s a hillside in the background.

Erica and Giga, who are soon to be married.
