Stay clear some of those nicotine if you do have long walks and go flex your muscles. I'm sorry too say, but, I dug into profile (lol) noticing you love pretty dog's and cat's and sunshine likewise.
Wait a minute....what are you saying you dug up on me? It kinda sounds like you got most of the information correct except for the sunshine thing, and even that isn't completely wrong. I'm not exactly frightened by your post, but my paranoia is starting to flare up. Lol.
All of those pics are beautiful, by the way. I saw a tortoise last year with a metal object that some idiot crazy glued to its shell, and since the torty was still growing, the metal thing got integrated into the shell and can't be removed. But damn, the torty in your pic looks so much bigger than the one I saw. They're amazing creatures with very interesting body language and personalities.
One of my greatest barrier would be language because getting accommodation might difficult since I do not speak either Georgian or Russian.
That's one of the problems I'd anticipated if my signature campaign castle ends up being located in a non-English speaking country. I'm of an age where I probably can't learn a new language with enough proficiency to speak it to the natives. But on the other hand, my plan was to seclude myself in the castle dungeon, where my small living quarters will be and where I'll write for a living.
Sounds like you've been thinking about this idea yourself--if you end up going through with it, I wish you luck and hope you report your progress.
