Favorite thing: Mtskheta is Georgia's ancient capital city and, as you can see from the picture, is located at the confluence of the Aragvi and Mtkvari rivers. It is about 30 minutes away from Tbilisi.
Mtskheta is named after Mtskhetos, son of Kartlos - the legendary progenitor of the Georgian people. It is also the place of the first Christian church in Georgia and it is still regarded as the spiritual capital.
Fondest memory: My fondest memory has to be that of the monasteries visited. We had great expectations about the museum but, it turned out, had been closed for renovations for many year, and it is not thought to e opening its doors again for many years.
Thank you LP for yer another misleading tip.
