The day opens on a ribbon of highway that climbs out of Tbilisi, the Caucasus mountains coming forward like a mountain range regaining its outline. By mid-morning the city air thins and the jeep rolls onto rougher track; the engine and the landscape set the rhythm as the valley widens and rivers dare the road’s edge.
