We are in Ismayilli, Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan is the largest of the three countries in the Caucuses, a mountainous region between Russia in the north, Iran in the south, Turkey to the west and the Caspian Sea (the largest "lake" on Earth) to the east. Our town of Ismayilli is located in the north central part of the country, in a province that is also named Ismayilli. It takes about 3 hours to drive from Baku, the capital to Ismayilli.
