The next morning was May 26: Georgian Independence Day. The stretch of Rustaveli Avenue that houses the national parliament, the fine art museum, the opera house and other key cultural institutions had been turned into a pedestrian mall and a street fair. What better introduction to Georgian culture than to go see thousands of Georgians behaving as Georgianly as possible?
The street fair was very child-friendly. In fact, the whole country seems to be. More than once, I noticed that even tough, macho guys in Georgia make time for their small children at public gatherings.
