More from New Year's Day (Old), Jan. 14, as well as the next few days afterwards, from the bottom up:

Lile with part of the feast in the morning light, including (left of centre) the remains of my massive birthday cake

Me in traditional Svan costume

Football in a spectacular setting, with cows for an audience

Beauty and the beast: young lady with roast piglet's head

A visiting heliskiing team of 14 from Germany... paying $2700 per hour total for the machine, 3 pilots, a guard, a fuel truck, etc. They had a great morning on our virgin slopes.

    So do you really eat the head or is it just a symbolic inclusion on in the meal? All I can say is, well, yuck.
    You have a very intersting post today - great pics!

    I had a hard enough time posting to the blog at all in Ushguli, & wasn't able to catch many of the comments. Sorry...
    "Gamarjoba" in Svan is "Khocha ladegh" and "Rogor xar" is magwart xari". Hope this helps - get a native speaker to help with pronunciation!
