If it was June in Georgia, it is August in Azerbaijan. We saw people harvesting yesterday. Even though this is an oil rich country, they were harvesting by hand with a scythe.
For two nights we are staying at a caravanserai at Shaki in western Azerbaijan. It is quite charming, in brick with a courtyard full of roses. We have a two room suite. Our meals are served al fresco on a patio.
The presence of the caravanserai indicates that Shaki was a stop on the Silk Road.
