haha, it’s glad to hear you’ve got an open family! Too bad you’ll miss Azerbaijan, I’m going to be writing about entry to that country soon. They could see so many more tourists if they eased the costs and process of entry.

Anyhow, thanks for sharing these photos. I had NO idea that scenery like this existed in Azerbaijan! I’m hitting Georgia and Armenia for my RTW next year, but not Azerbaijan as that visa is just too expensive. I’ll live vicariously through your photos instead. Bouncing around on those mud volcanoes DOES sound like fun!

Glad the photos could entice you even more, thank you 🙂 I didn’t go to Eurovision, I was there a few weeks before – just before the rush of people coming into town to attend.

I wish I had seen the mega-eruption too – but glad I didn’t when I was there standing over one of the volcanoes! 🙂 I can imagine that second photo being much different then…
