Azerbaijan is the last new country for me this summer.
I knew, before coming, that Azerbaijan might be tricky to travel in. I knew the language would be a challenge (hello Russian immersion experience!), I knew that the country hosts very few tourists, and I knew that their unfortunate border troubles with Armenia have discouraged many who might come.
But as with any new country, it has grown on me! There were absolutely some moments of discomfort, but thankfully, far more moments with friendly, welcoming locals, beautiful scenery, and a wonderful place to put my Russian practice to good use.
Enjoy this weeks movie Monday!
