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. |
