The World’s Largest High-Relief Sculpture, Was Nearly One of the World’s Greatest Boondoggles
Blog: Hole In The Donut - 30 April 2012
My first glimpse of the monumental sculpture carved into the massive granite dome known as Stone Mountain was slightly disappointing. From the viewing platform the three sculpted figures of Confederate President Jefferson Davis, General Robert E. Lee and Lt. General Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson were dwarfed by the sheer immensity of the naked rock that thrusts [...]

“Welcome – Please come in” – Georgian Border Security. Tbilisi, Georgia is one of the koolest cities I’ve been to in ages. A city? If you could call it that – as far as capitals go, Tbilisi is more like county town where your distant grandparents might live. There was an air about it that [...]

Escape of the Week: Fall on Fire
Blog: The Adventures of D - 18 October 2011
If there is one thing I miss when living in the desert — even if October is simply divine weather-wise — it is fall. Growing up on the east coast in Maryland, a favorite pastime was raking all of the leaves that fell from the trees each autumn. My dad would rake them up into [...]

Trust But Verify
Blog: Kiva Stories from the Field - 4 October 2011
By DJ Forza, KF16, Georgia It was a gorgeous autumnal morning in Tbilisi, when we set out for Rustavi; Georgia's third largest city. As we drove east towards Azerbaijan, I was struck by the dramatic change in scenery during our short 30 minute drive to deliver a Kiva training at one of Credo's newest branch offices. Not only did we leave behind the verdant landscape, there were no charming cobblestone streets or European architecture to be found. Instead, we entered an urban desert and what seemed like hundreds of crumbling soviet-style cement apartment blocks and abandoned factories.

Georgian food love affair

It’s true. I’ve been cheating on my dear Spanish food not only with Turkish desserts, but also with Georgian cuisine. What can I say – I’m a tad unfaithful and culinarily promiscuous. But when it comes to food, I’m just not a one-cuisine kind of gal! Let me introduce to you to my latest food [...]

Georgia on my mind – but not that Georgia
Blog: La Tortuga Viajera - 25 August 2011
And while we’re clarifying – forget about peaches, today it’s all about watermelons. But first, a little background. One of my dearest friends living in Spain hails from the Republic of Georgia – that small, oblong, post-Soviet country, which nudges up against the Black Sea. The democracy, which regained its independence in 1991, continues to [...]
