Trip Update

Most of you are probably wondering what happend to Chirol? We last left off in Yerevan. I headed up to Vanadzor and took a daytrip to a pleasant little town at the bottom of a gorge called Alaverdi. I then went back to Tbilisi, and on to Gori where I enjoyed the insanity of the Stalin museum and huge statues of him around town. Next was Borjomi, Georgia, famous for mineral water and its nearby national park which I planned to visit. However, here I fell sick for about 4 days and headed to hospital for some fluids and antibiotics. All is well now and I’m in Trabzon, Turkey for two days and going to Istanbul on Thursday. I’ll try to upload some pictures soon but we’ll see. Again, the travelogue will be very thorough when I return. Also, I’ll be meeting Lady Chirol (Mrs. Chirol in August!) in Istanbul to spend around 10 days traveling together so blogging will suffer then.
