Oni and Racha Photos

So there’s a region in northern Georgia called Racha that doesn’t draw much tourism, but has some of the most amazing landscapes existing on planet earth. Last week, I did not let food poisoning stop me from going to visit this wonderful place (food poisoning story coming soon). Once I recovered, I went on many walks and hikes. Pigs and cows roamed free, rivers were wild, and trees were more numerous than any human could count. I made my base in the town Oni at M&B Guesthouse (which was incredible, highly recommended if you go there). Anyway, here is what I saw.
