Dear Travelers,
The splendid, sun-drenched drive through the stark dramatic Erusheti Mountains of the Samtskhe-Javakheti Region of southwestern Georgia reminds me of my autumn days in New England years ago. Dark green and bright gold dominate the scene.
Against the blue horizon, a shadowy distant outline of the walls of the Khertvisi Fortress brings a smile. The climb to the ramparts brings a sense of ancient history. Already established for who knows how long, “Alexander the Macedonian” visited the site during his Eastern Campaign.
