Azerbaijan Day 1


Wow, here we are in Az...amazing! We were dropped off in our own apartment at about 5:30 AM after flying most of the night. We slept until about noon, had a nice HOT shower, spend the day on our own, walking about Baku and to the Caspian Sea. It was 59 degrees F but very windy and chilly. We ate local cuisine for lunch and found people in shops very kind and helpful and we "communicated" our needs / wants for exchaning money, ordering lunch, purchasing a wifi card and getting snacks (see store pix.) Some spoke a little English and every word helped. We enjoyed the interaction with the locals.


We met with two of our partners and with their expertise ordered dinner - excellent!

Tomorrow begins our busy schedule. We've been healthy and energetic - PTL and please keep lifting up our remaining time.

  1. Hi-
    Great pictures! Thanks for all the details. Wondering how much we'll hear from you once you leave Baku... We have our globe as the centerpiece on our kitchen table so we can track your progress and remember you. Love to you both.
