Carpets, rugs, and floor coverings
Connie, You are a woman of many interests. I appreciate that. While I don't share your passion for the rugs I am intrigued by the "technology" of rug making. As one of the earliest uses of algoririthms, Joseph Jaquard developed looms to turn a recipe of sorts into patterned textiles. Rugs are the ultimate of that "pattern technology." Irakli probably has a similar love for the history and how that technology ultimately lead to the algorithmic languages used in programming. So even the left brain and right brain need each other to do what they do best. Alan

Georgia
Connie, I enjoyed reading your blog entries for Georgia. My husband and I are starting our trip to Eastern Europe in Georgia later this month. I tried to find Sighnaghi on our map of Georgia but couldn't. Could you describe its location for me? I also have a travel blog on this website. My name is Everette Studdard. If you look at my blog, start with the oldest one. They are more interesting than some of the recent ones. I am sorry that I waited so long to do a blog. Thanks for any help, Everette

"YES" I COULD
I was heartfelt when I read that literacy rate was 98%. I do believe that in working together for the GOOD, we can (could) improve literacy and transform lives. Education is important and BOOKS are the main tool to receive that information. If you do not have the resources, you cannot move further. These children are our future and if just one person steps out a lending hand, there will be many more to follow. So little is needed to make a great impact for the children's future. So, I say: "YES, I could do this".

mt. Kazbegi and Alexander Kazbegi
Connie, as always I enjoyed the story. Great Job! However please note couple of minor corrections: 1) mt. Kazbegi or Mkinvartsveri (as it is called today) Mkinvari=glacier; Tsveri=top; is the highest in eastern Georgia and probably the 6th in height in the whole Georgia; 2) Alexander Kazbegi is a novelist.

Beautiful
Wow, who would have thunk? Your travelogue is both entertaining and the locations are wonderful. The choice of pictures makes me say, "This is a must see." The story about how everyone wanted to "help" you make the trip reminds me of my east coast relatives. But I digress. Thanks so much for this delightful way to keep in touch while you are away. Blessings on all your travel. Alan

I believe US is the only country that people do/can not take advantage of bicycles due to city traffic and vast land. Tokyo, Osaka, Beijing, Shanghai, Ho Chi Min City, Hanoi, and various cities in Italy and Spain were filled with bicycles and motorbikes. I have not been to Holland yet. Now I must visit after I get a job and save enough money for the trip! I love your picture of bicycles. So artistic! Looking forward to reading more of your adventure.
