We are just getting our feet wet after 16 hours of travel to get to country number 92, Azerbaijan.

Here in the capital Baku, the old melds with the new. We will set out to explore more tomorrow, but so far we have found everyone to be very welcoming. The streets are wide and clean, and we are afforded wonderful views of the Caspian Sea from our hotel room.

We were told Baku meant “Windy City” in ancient Persian. Not sure if that translation is correct, but it is indeed, a very Windy City.
