Back to the city, back to wifi, warm showers and comfortable beds, back to civilization, back to UlaanBaator.
We are off on our first adventure outside of Tbilisi — the wild and pristine mountains of Tusheti. The road from Tbilisi to Tusheti is only maybe 120 km, but it took us 9 hours (!) due to the highway conditions. Never mind that though, just enjoys the views!
A motorcycle our of the southern Thai city – Trang.
A visit to the 10th century Banteay Srei temple, the crown jewel of Khmer architecture. Banteay Srei was built by a Brahmin – rather than your typical Varman (king) — in honor of Hindu god Shiva. The rose-colored sandstone carvings are spectacular even in 100+ degree heat. Banteay Srei was one of our favorites in the Angkor complex!
Grocery shopping in Hiroshima, Japan. As always, featuring coverage of a meat section — didn’t realize I was such a carnivore!
A visit to the Amber fort, formerly the royal residence of the Jaipur kings. All of it is all the more fascinating for Jenia, who is currently reading A Princess Remembers by Gayatri Devi, who was married to the last Maharaja of Jaipur.
