We had one final, relaxing day in Tbilisi. We visited a beautiful old Orthodox church (where there was a baptism going on, making the place feel very much alive). We encountered these two beautiful peasant women.
And then it was the long flight home from Tbilisi to Boston, via Doha. I managed to take a 2 1/2 hour nap on the tile floor in the Doha airport, using only my camera bag as a pillow. So I have acquired at least that skill on the trip. All went smoothly and the kids were delighted to meet friends at the bus stop in Hanover. Very strange to be back in exactly the spot from which we left nine months ago.
We are home. Time to begin the mundane reentry tasks, like finding the keys, getting the car running, visiting the doctor and dentist, and so on. How wonderful to return to a beautiful place with so many great friends. Thanks for reading!
