Khulo, almost kheaven

Some of the Adjara volunteers an I took a trip to Khulo, a town way up in the mountains of Adjara (didi adjara, as they call it, which means big adjara, I guess I live in small adjara). Khulo is pretty remote, so the folks there, especially the police, were curious about what we were up to. Some photos:

Khulo

A guy we met on the street packed us into his car and took us to see his bear cub. Why does he have a bear cub? How does one catch a bear cub? He couldn't really explain. The bear was not so happy to see us.

In other news, we haven't had electricity at my house for about a month, apparently because some Czech company bought the local power station and is demanding payment (!?), and my neighbors are refusing to pay. Using the wood stove to cook in the summer heat makes it seem so much more medieval. I feel bad for my host mom.
