In Turkish Airlines after a long time. Brings back memories of the Mongolia trip.

Where we are now…

The five of us are literally strewn all over the world right now. The one who stayed back in Atlanta clearly is having the most fun!!

My friend’s first trip outside of USA. In Turkish Airlines. In business class. His reaction when the staff came and a put a candle on his table to serve dinner…

I am back on that airlines… nearly 8 years later.

When are we hitting the road again?

If everything goes right, this would be the 77th country for me.

We were aimlessly loitering around in Istanbul airport. I chanced upon this ad and then something else struck me from the picture. There is the picture of a woman in blue saari. That was a bit unexpected!

Roger and I had planned Azerbaijan to be our followup adventure after out Mongolia trip! Never managed to get that done. Today, that wait will come to an end. Sharmila will be with me!

Take a guess where we are. This is my 196th airport!

This is the office of the government company responsible for water supply and sanitation. It is lit up like a drop of water. The picture was taken from a running car. Apologize for the quality.

Baku is very well lit. The buildings have very ornate lighting. This is the SOCAR Tower. SOCAR is the local Oil and Gas company. And it is shaped and lit up like a flame!

Those three buildings – the lights were dancing in rhythm.
