Azerbaijan, July 2005
 Outdoor pool-- Natavan's first time! |
 The long steps in Quba, built by POWs during WWII. (Must check this detail.) |
 The long steps, with various statues of heroes. |
 Azeri-style photo op. Me, Natavan and Rustam. |
 Ascending. |
 Cemetery of the "mountain Jews." |
 Looking out over the city, adjacent to Quba, that is entirely Jewish. Pop. about 8000. |
 The "Quba Museum." What is that thing? No one knows... |
 We pose for the museum staff. |
 Anita and Natavan thrill at the wonders of the Quba museum. |
 More life-size paper mache figures, modeling Azeri dress. |
 The "main road" near Natavan's home. Wide, rutted and pitted, dusty, but manageable. |
