Summertime in the AZ

Summertime in Azerbaijan is a lot like Texas - hot. We made our two best purchases of our PCV lives the last few months, a fan and a kiddie pool, which we spend most of our waking moments in or around.
We've been traveling around the regions for the last few weeks, spending some time with PCVs around the country. Here are a few pictures...

I got a little car-sick on one of our trips...shocking, I know. This little guy came and guarded me while I recovered.
 I named him Toby Ziegler.
