I'm in Svaneti again. In the 2 months that have passed since the last Georgian campaign, big changes have taken place here: asphalt was laid in the village of Mazeri (not yet connected to the highway), a caterpillar tractor was driving at our favorite parking lot near Ushba, and the stream was half dry (as if not because of the tractor). I hope at least the glacier hasn't gone anywhere. I'll go and check tomorrow. #Georgia
