Tbilisi, Georgia

Out of Asia and back into Europe.  I rolled into town after a six-hour journey from Batumi.  The ride was interesting.  The government seems to be spending money on upgrading not only the Capital, but the country wide infrastructure.  As such, the ride was extremely varied, beat up roadways and small dilapidated villages in some parts, to brand new super highways and new high rise condo/apartment buildings in other locations.  During the run from Batumi, I encountered more police than I have ever seen during a 230 mile trip.  In all seriousness, there must have been more than 30 police cars dispersed throughout the route, all just patrolling and watching,  As far as architecture goes, there are still a few remnants of the Soviet Union poking through, but Georgia's disdain for Putin will assure that they will not remain for long.
