FORTY MINUTES IN: Robin comes back downstairs to tell me his mom is. Concerned about Mercedes. She keeps asking, “What if some boys got her and took her into the jungle? SIXTY MINUTES IN: Now I...

Lighting the Spark | Auspicious Adventures in Azerbaijan
https://carrieazeri.wordpress.com/2014/01/20/lighting-the-spark
Auspicious Adventures in Azerbaijan. We planned to start the day visiting Pashupatinath, a large and famous Hindu temple to Shiva. The fee to enter the complex was steep for our modest budget, and Robin assured us it wasn’t worth the cost of admission. Apparently, we wouldn’t be able to see anything of interest anyway non-Hindus were not allowed in the actual temple. Monks on promenade. How very lovely. I asked. Well, this is supposed to be the pinnacle point of Buddhism, right? Now, a year later, my vie...

This blog is about how a late bloomer-finally takes a stab at some of her personal dreams. Let's start with Dream #1 - JOINING THE PEACE CORPS. Status: Actively serving as a PCV in the Republic of Azerbaijan. But it doesn't stop there. People I need to Personally Thank. I'm going to the Republic of Azerbaijan. Let me say this in a way that you can conceptualize it: I am going to the former Soviet Union. It's situated obviously very close to Russia, Iran, Armenia, Georgia, and finally the Caspian Sea.
