We awoke, ate and packed for the beach this morning, the temperature did not agree with us, but we went anyway.
Today our party ventured to the beaches of Baku to test the waters. We went to a free beach access point about 15 minutes from our hotel, it was a quick journey and was entirely worth it! When we finally arrived we were given a spectacular view and made use all stop for a moment and stare! The water was rather cool (18° C, 68° F, 291° K) the group did not mind to much and went in anyway, but not for very long! We watched the Russian navy practice ship handling just off shore and we were able to get a picture of two frigate coming directly at us!  |

We had a very relaxing day, and a great way to rest up after the first part of our trip. So we did not have to even leave the beach to get lunch, we bought the delicious chicken and steak, I think, kabobs. I have developed quite a taste for the middle eastern cuisine. The waters were a shade of blue I have never seen back home in the states, it was a clear and tranquil blue, with soft, elegant sand. This was a true paradise and a once in a lifetime experience! Take a good look at some of the pictures we got from the beach.
The trip to the beach was nice and relaxing, it provided a day off to help with the jet lag, which I think I am finally over. because tomorrow will bring a trip to a special museum! The rest of the trip seems to be an interesting and immersive experience but until then i'm going to enjoy a day at the beach!
