Kutaisi was the first town we visited in Georgia, and we were immediately struck by the warmth and hospitality of its people. As we explored the city, a friendly family - two women, a daughter, grandma, and their dad - approached us at the beautiful Gelati Monastery. Though we were total strangers, they invited us to take a photo together, excited at the opportunity to meet some travellers visiting their city. Their kindness and inclusiveness embodied the Georgian spirit of treating every guest as a gift from God :)
