Mud volcanoes in AZ

We leave the Lotta to walk the rest of the way 

Here they are! Mud volcanoes here we come! 

Very muddy (as you would expect) 

Bubbles coming from the ground  

The boys would love to play in this mud  

Mud caked on the boots...  

Found one that was exploding a little 

 

Saturday excursions in AZ

We visited the grounds of TISA, where Jeff and Tamara teach 

Then we went to the "Airport Market" for a shopping experience.  

Enjoying potato-stuffed pirojiki and tea at the Airport market 

Watching how they are made at the market 

A representative picture of many of our days!

Here we are arriving at Gobustan National Park 

We learn about the various petroglyphs found there 

They demonstrated the different petroglyphs-- unclear what some of these animals are! 

Warrior petroglyphs 

Family? 

Boats... 

We trek out to find the tualette before heading up to look at the petroglyphs

Some stone age humor (or not)

The area near the petroglyphs is rocky-- looks different than surrounding mountains 

Modern petroglyph 

Petroglyphs in situ

Some cool rocks 

More of the surrounding terrain

Our purple taxi could not make it on the road to the mud volcanoes, so we contracted a Lotta... 

Here we go! 

Don't we look comfy in the Lotta?
