The Georgians can once again fly the national flag, but not
without a fight.
The normally fun-loving and hospitable Georgians in T'bilisi can be
forgiven for carrying sad and sullen faces at times.
The heavy looks are most noticeable along Prospekt Rustavelli,
especially near the former Government House.
These people have to walk down this once grand street daily, and
relive the memories of the human bodies drained of life as they stare at the slow progress
of reconstruction.

Includes a map of the county.
The capital of Georgia is on the Kura River; in the central

After it spent some time as a theatre during the darker years of
Communism, the 13th-century Metekhi church is once again open for prayers.
