Administrative Note

I haven't gathered thoughts enough to say anything interesting, but thought I should mention that I've arrived in Tbilisi and I'm just trying to orient myself in the clamor and hubbub. With everything so foreign and overwhelming, I feel oddly, how to say, like Kansas girl in Manhattan. Like I've got my carpet-bag and my gingham dress and cloddish shoes and I'm standing in the middle of Times Square with my jaw hanging open and I'm being pin-balled between passing bodies. But it's all of 1pm on day one, so I think I'll allow myself a little time to adjust.
