Morning light pours over the rust-red roofs of Old Tbilisi and the sulfur steam from Abanotubani seems to pull the city awake. A small group threads narrow lanes where balconies lean close and spices hang in paper cones; the guide points up toward the Mother of Georgia, a figure that surveys the city as if daring visitors to take in every angle.
