Out in the Countryside

Now I have more time to write about our outing to Goygol two days ago. The architecture there is different than the houses in the rest of Azerbaijan and Halima explained it is in the German style. We visited a beautiful, new park that had views of what I considered to be mountains, but Halima scoffed at my use of that term because they are "small." Halima's students built a fire to have a picnic and roast sausages. Nearby, there was a group of boys who had also built a fire, and one of Halima's students asked to borrow a kebob stick, which we had forgotten to bring. The boys obliged, and later our students offered the boys sausages, which we ate on big hunks of fresh bread. I admired the friendliness and sense of cooperation between the two groups.
