Check out my Flickr page for photos taken when I was there in February. Gori is 20 kms from the South Ossetian border and is better (only?) known for being Stalin's Birthplace.
There was much talk last night of packing up and heading over the land border with Turkey and Georgia, but the main difference between talking about heading to a war zone for fun and actually doing it is a couple bottles of wine.
(Here's a good article about Gori in today's Washington Post)
Our visas are pending.

You do not need one. It is free for the time being. Warzone tourism - big business.
