Sounds sad, but after the week we had just been through, a Big Mac was just what the doctor ordered. We only spent two nights in Azerbaijan&#8230; the first night we slept in the trucks on a city sidestreet since the cheapest hotel we could find was over $250 per night. The second night we camped in a field on the way to the Georgian border so that pretty much encompasses our time and photos from Azerbaijan. Georgia was a great place and we found the capital city of Tbilisi to be exceptional. Everyone in Georgia was very friendly, including the secret police who held us at the border for several hours to ensure that we were not journalists trying to gain access in the country to report on the current political unrest and recent state of national emergency. To make up for it, they gave us a bunch of confiscated fruit! We also celebrated Thanksgiving in Georgia&#8230; far from home, but at least the country name reminded us of it.<\/p>\n<p><a
