Tbilisi is an exhilarating jumble of ancient architecture alive with a vibrant culture.
As the capital of the Republic of Georgia, Tbilisi is the country's largest city. Situated near the Silk Road, Tbilisi has long been important in world history. Today the city showcases medieval, neoclassical, Art Nouveau, modern, and Stalinist architecture.
With its past steeped in multiculturalism, tourists can explore time periods encompassing Soviet rule and Georgian independence. Old Town Tbilisi offers local art, wine houses, and family restaurants. Local cafes serve traditional khachapuri bread alongside meat dumplings called khinkali.
After luxuriating in a sulfur bath, cross the famous Dry Bridge. Explore the Holy Trinity Cathedral, the third largest Orthodox cathedral in the world. A funicular ride to Mtatsminda Park keeps kids engaged while adults enjoy the view. Visit Kartlis Deda, the stunning statue of a woman guarding the Republic of Georgia, by hopping the aerial tramway.
Every block offers flavors from the traditional supra, or feast. Meats are grilled while you wait. Churchkhela, a candy made of boiled fruit juice and nuts, is traditionally made in the fall. Many eating establishments make their own house wine.

In New Orleans, the Cities of the Dead are beautiful, historic places to roam.

Prague offers truly beautiful discoveries only minutes away from the crowded tourist sites.
Most people who visit Prague limit their experience to the small area bounded by Old Town Square and Prague Castle. Only a block or two away from the main boulevards are quiet cafes and bustling, three-way intersections where residents live and work amid the iconic architecture.
A short tram ride reveals additional treasures like Vysehrad, a historic fort on the banks of the Vltava River. The site is home to the Basilica of St. Peter and St. Paul as well as Prague's oldest rotunda, which dates from the 11th century. From the elevated expanse of Letn Park, visitors can snap unique pictures of Prague Old Town and the Vltava River.
Leave the crowds behind and discover the real Prague with the full-color photos in Hidden Prague: From the Vltava River to Vysehrad Castle (a Travel Photo Art book).

"One of the best novels in ten years."Hackney Literary Awards Committee
Destined to become the next The Book Thief by Markus Zusak.
For fans of Small Great Things, Before We Were Yours, and Orphan Train, and viewers of "Mystery Road" and "Picnic at Hanging Rock."
In this thrilling debut novel ranked alongside Pulitzer Prize winners William Styron and Horton Foote, a gripping search for a missing friend unearths the price one boy paid for brutal adoption policies.
Gabriel Branch is a man displaced. Having lost his boyhood family to a government's attempt at genocide, his emotions balance on a razor's edge. Then his best friend disappears in the vast Australian desert. The only clue is an Aboriginal artifact that leads Gabe back to the land of his birth.
As he searches for his friend, long-suppressed memories resurface. Memories of the uncle who swung him up into a tree and called him Little Breeze. Memories of the mother he lost. Memories of the candy the social workers used to lure him away from his Outback home.
Vast, dangerous and beautiful, The Family Made of Dust is a remarkable story about the special relationships families can treasure even when they have been broken apart...and how a spare and beautiful landscape can resurrect that which we hold so dear.
