# Ushguli

Ushguli is a community of four villages in Northwestern Georgia next to the foot of Shkhara, one of the highest Caucasian summits.

## Understand

The Ushguli villages contain buildings that are part of the UNESCO heritage site of Upper Svaneti.

## Get in

Transportation into Ushguli is very limited. There is a road from Kutaisi that is serviced by private vehicles.

### By taxi

Otherwise a trip from Mestia is the easiest way to see Ushguli. A private vehicle can take you up for a day trip, or for a few days. The cost will be approximately 200 lari for a day trip. There are also some local drivers that gather several tourists and do the tour splitting the costs (in this case the price per person will be 50 lari [updated Sept 2024] ), available most days outside of winter, just ask around in Mestia. The price for round trip and one way to Ushguli is the same as they can't be guaranteed a new passenger to fill the space once in Ushguli. With a shared trip out you can expect about 4 hours in Ushguli and a return mid afternoon. The trip from Mestia takes about 1½ hr one way without snow, a marked improvement form the past as the road has been significantly improved. In ideal weather conditions, nearly any car can be used to reach Ushguli with only a very small section (<1km) not yet paved.

### On foot

It is also possible to hike from Mestia in 3-4 days which is a great way to see Svaneti for the able-bodied—see Northwestern Georgia#Do.

## Get around

Once in the villages, you can walk between them all very easily.

## See

* Typical Svanetian protective towers are found throughout the village.
* Ushguli Chapel (On a hilltop near the village). It dates back to the 12th century.

## Do

* A visit to the Ethnography museum is well worth the 5-6 lari that the local children will ask for admission. Housed in a preserved Svan house, the museum contains artifacts ranging in age from the long history of the Svaneti region. The local children will provide rehearsed description of the artifacts in passable English.
* The Georgian wartime treasury. Placed in the "most inaccessible part of Georgia" the countless national treasures were held in the Ushguli monastery during periods of conflict.
* Go to Enguri to Shkhara

## Eat

There are a few restaurants in the villages serving traditional Georgian and Svan home cooking, catering to the increasing numbers of tourists. You could also get food from your guest house.

## Sleep

Ask anyone in the village for a place to sleep or just walk around until you see a sign saying "Guest house" (there are a lot of them). The price will be US$20-30 per night. Most accommodation includes a cafe and some may include all your food in the price of your stay. Negotiate with your host as appropriate.

# Muleshoe

Muleshoe is a town on the High Plains.

## Understand

Muleshoe derives its name from a bit of whimsy supposedly, when an original settler named Henry Black found a mule's shoe in the soil and decided to call his ranch by that name. That was then applied to the town that sprung up when the Pecos and Northern Texas Railway arrived in 1913. There was so much patronage towards the humble mule that the townspeople erected a statue of the animal in this sleepy town.

## See

# Mulatupo o Sasardi

Mulatupo is a small indigenous village in Kuna Yala province of Eastern Panama.

The locals speak Kuna but most of them know also Spanish with English being spoken much more than in most parts of Panama.

## Get in
### By Plane

* 8.94528-77.73311 Mulatupo Airport (MPP ) (The airport is located on another island but there is a shuttle boat before and after the flights.). AirPanama has daily flights to Mulatupo for about $55. The flights arrive and depart usually in the morning but this depends on the day. You will be told your departure time the day before your flight. Book your ticket in advance as the flights can be often sold out. If the tickets are sold out, just go to the airport when the plain arrives and ask for a leftover seat

### By boat

Cargo boats regularly stop at Mulatupo but they might not be willing to take passengers. Talk to the captain and use your negotiating skills! Other option is to hire a privately owned boat but this will be expensive if there are not many passengers. Sometimes the village officials might not give you a permission to leave by boat.

## Get around

The streets have no names here so to find your way, you need to ask the locals or just try your luck. The village is very small so it should be fairly difficult to get lost here.
The roads in the village are too small for anything else except walking and the distances are small too.

## See

The main square has an obscure statue.
Walk to the mainland from the island to see the ruins of an abandoned bar. There are also other ruined buildings around the island.

## Do

There is a small cinema showing films mostly American action and comedy films. There are usually two films a day with the DVD covers on the front door of the hut.
Small excursions to close by islands might be possible. Ask local boatmen of this option.

## Buy

There are no ATM's in town.
There are some small shops on the island concentrating on mostly different kinds of canned food, soft drinks and biscuits. Some everyday items are available too. Prices are higher than in other parts of Panama.

## Eat

There is one extremely simple, nameless restaurant in town. The family running it will be happy to cook for you a meal of chicken and rice for $3 but you need to let them know some hours in advance.
Ask around, some families might be willing to cook for you if you ask nicely.

## Drink

There is a bar with a billiard's table and beer close by to the second dock in town.

## Sleep

It is possible to sleep in the village guest room, for $5 a night, in one of the few concrete houses in the village. Ask about this option from the shop close by to the main dock of the town.

# Newton (New Jersey)

Newton is in Sussex County, New Jersey.

## Understand

Newton is the county seat of Sussex County

### History

Newton is located near the headwaters of the east branch of the Paulins Kill, a 41.6-mile (66.9 km) tributary of the Delaware River. In October 1715, Colonial surveyor Samuel Green plotted a tract of 2,500 acres (1,000 ha) at the head of the Paulins Kill, then known as the Tohokenetcunck River, on behalf of William Penn. This tract, which would not be settled for approximately 30–35 years, was part of the survey and division of the last acquisition of Native American land by the West Jersey Board of Proprietors. At the time of Green's survey, northwestern New Jersey was populated with bands of the Munsee, the northern branch of the Lenape Native Americans.
The first recorded European settler within the boundaries of present-day Newton was a German Palatine immigrant named Henry Hairlocker who arrived sometime before 1751 when he appears in Morris County records as receiving a tavern license. The Newtown Precinct, a large township, was created in 1751, and Sussex County was created from Morris two years later on June 8, 1753. The township would be named Newtown after the colonial village of Newtown in Queens, New York from where the Pettit family originated (the six Pettit brothers, all prominent landowners and influential figures in early local government, settled in northwestern New Jersey in the 1740s)or from its status as a "new town".
In 1762, Jonathan Hampton, of Elizabethtown, surveyed the location for a county courthouse and town green at the intersection of a military supply road he built during the French and Indian War and a major north–south artery called the King's Highway (present-day New Jersey Route 94). The construction of the courthouse was completed in 1765 and the village that developed around it became known as Sussex Court House. The county courthouse was the site of a raid by British partisan Lieutenant James Moody during the American Revolution.
In 1797, the village's post office was renamed Newtown and later, in 1825, the spelling was altered to Newton. Newton Township would cede land to create new townships on several occasions in the eighteenth and nineteenth-centuries, until a final division dissolved the township on April 11, 1864, through a legislative act of New Jersey Legislature that created the village of Newton as an incorporated town and two rural townships—Hampton and Andover.
