We are finally finished with our Caucasus Mountains trip. We saw the ancient lands of Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Armenia. I hope you enjoyed the trip as much as Vicky and I did. People often ask me why we go to such odd countries. My answer is usually because I know nothing about them, and it thrills me to go to new places and discover and learn about them. That was certainly true in these southern Caucasus Mountain countries.

I'll just finish the trip with a couple of photos from each of the three countries, then a few selfies of us.

Azerbaijan mostly reminds me of ancient cities with incredible new buildings mixed into them. That plus some of the truly ancient small villages that we visited and the people we met there.

Georgia will always remind me of the mountains. That plus some equally impressive ancient cities with modern structures creeping in.

Armenia will also always remind me of mountains and especially Mount Ararat. I will always wonder if Noah really landed his Ark there.

Several people will inevitably ask me if I was really on the trip...because they mostly just see photos of Vicky. I am the photographer of the two of us, so that's why. But we have learned to take a few selfies along the way, just to prove that I was along on the trip.
