The geographic location of Georgia and Armenia is a mystery to many, while the other countries on my trip, Romania and Turkey are better known. This map shows all of them, with Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, and Yerevan, the capital of Armenia, on the right of the map.
In response to your entreaties for maps and photographs of our recent trip to Georgia and Armenia to be in one place, I am now broken of back and hard of seeing but you at least should be content with what follows.
Georgia and the places we visited
I use Picasa Web Albums to share the Photographs.
Each Photo below is the front page of an Album of Photos. Double-click on each of the photos and it will open into Full Screen.
You can choose to view either the SLIDESHOW (see top left of page), or peruse the individual Photos taking your time to read the captions.
