We pile into a sturdy 4-wheel drive vehicle
(Russian something, I think)
Not particularly comfortable
Lots of levers, and a cup holder
Our suspicious Svan driver checks the tires
And we head out....
On some pretty scary roads
Into the middle of nowhere
We finally get out of the car a couple of kilometers before we reach the village, and walk in to Ushguli enjoying the scenery.
The main activity going on in the village seems to be watching a truck being unloaded.
We decide to drop in on the (very modern) local school.
This guy greeting us is one of the teachers. He is 14 years old.
Classroom
Class in session with guest lecturer
The bell they ring, when they have electricity
The gong they use when the power is out
The school restrooms
Inside the restroom
As we leave the school, our guide meets a lady on the road.
Turns out they know each other, and we get invited to lunch at their house.
First we have to stroll through the town.
And then get to enjoy the hospitality.
This was such an interesting place, with great views and surprises around every corner.
We met a friendly local dog
What does his collar protect him from???
