Tbilisi Protests get Teargassed

Just in case you guys are hearing about Georgian politics, I thought I'd make sure everyone knew that we're fine and haven't had any real impact by the local protests. For those that may not have heard, there has been some protests against the government by the opposition for the last 6 days now. For the first time today, they got dispersed with teargas and water canons. You can read some articles on the Guardian the Herald Tribune or at the BBC .

For us, all is fine, just avoiding the neighborhood around the protests. More later, if we get a chance.

What Joan said! The lead article in the Express today was about the Georgian president declaring emergency, and my first thought was of you two. Stay safe! [Oh, and I miss you!]
