around the world with ipuenktchen

ein *geklauter pfingststrauss* sollte euch heute den tag verschoenern!!!!! (aber ich hab keine erlaubnis bekommen... schluchzzzzzzzzzzz) pfingstrosen hab ich ja selber auch im garten, in schoenstem weinrot vom urmia-see und in weiss aus hannover aus der rubensstrasse von meiner tante annemarie (deren pfingstrosenbusch im vorgarten das teilen nicht ueberlebte - au weia!!!!) ausserdem in rosa von meinem lieblingsgaertner hier. alle haben jaaaaaaaaahre gebraucht, bis sie zum bluehen kamen, aber nun geniesse ich es, wenn sie mich nacheinander erfreuen!!



was mir nun noch zu pfingsten fehlen wuerde, sind die schoki-kaefer!! aber das hab ich selber schuld - haette ich ja haben koennen.. direktimport.. hehe.. hab mich geniert zu fragen............. *koppandiewandhauundmichaufnextesjahrvertroest*



it's so great. when we understand ipue goes ready to go out and is taking us with her!!! and so in the late afternoon today, when she had a meeting at potter's house!!!







it's the ancient part of tabriz and when we are walking in the streets we notice so many ancient details in the architecture!!!

sabol_amr_mosque (holy_qor'an_museum)


as ipue is originally from northern DE, the area of germany where you can find mostly and most beautiful brick buildings from the olden times, it was the same for her in north-western IR by accident... famous for brick buildings!!!

back home - ipue's home!!!!!!! :-))))))))))

she told us it will be her 12th time when she is going now with OLDIEOMA to esfahan!!!!!!!!!!

and this eve it will get true again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oldieoma now is in the air entering tabriz, and we'll have forty winks untill breakfast, and after we'll chat & chat & chat untill in the late afternoon we'll leave tabriz together to go on a walk... hehe..........

***ESFAHAN - nesfe jahan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!***

means when you had seen esfahan you had seen half of the world!!!!!!!!!

and we, POSSY & CROSSY, are hoping instantly, they will take us with them.......... :-)))))))))

if so... we'll jump in our train around 5 PM!!!!!!!!
arriving in TEHRAN, our first stop, around 8 AM.

it's the name of the favorite folklore song of ipue in azeri language and it means *separation*... and we've to get separated of dear little PAUL!!!!!! :-((((((((((((((((((((((((



but not yet - first we are going out for dinner, invited by ipue's guest from duesseldorf!!



back home finally paul will jump in his box, ipuenktchen will add some souvenir cards for jo and some sweets for PAUL if he get hungry on his trip, and then they will go together by taxi to the airport and in the early morning at 4.3o their plane will leave tabriz and IR!!!!!!!



PAUL is looking for further adventures!!!

but a GOOD-BYE-PARTY :-((((((((((((((((((((((

uuuhhhhhuuuuuuuuuuuuh... tears get in my eyes ♪♪

yesterday we invited for dinner...



ipue told us she feels to old to invite 40 - 50 poeple like in her olden times..... and normally she accept now no more than 1o - 12 ppl,
but yesterday she had 24... and it was really hard for her......
but it was very amazing as well!!!!!!!!



in fact it was the good-bye-party for dear little PAUL THE BACKPACKER!!!!!!! we will miss him so much!!!!!!



and we were very happy for him, to take part in a home-made dinner party with live-music of azerbaijanian folklore!!!!!!



btw I just remember guests in june 2oo7 who put an example of our *live music* at the end of their post of 21th june 2oo7:
http://itchy-wheels.exploder.org/blog/?m=200706
(it's honestly not a high level quality but just an example!!)

there was a lot of young folks and they were chatting and dancing and laughing - and at the other point they were so great and helped a lot in making and serving tea, doing the dishes and so on!!!!



there is the habitude that iranian dinner parties have hundreds kind of hors-d'oeuvres, meals, salads, desserts AND SO ON............ ipue did the same in former events!!!!!!!!!



when she moved to IR 34 years ago... here pots were too small, the dishes not enough, the same the cutlery, the small side-tables, the chairs...., the tea-glasses, sugar-bowls and much more..............



among their friends they were obliged to loan each other all the missing things when one of them invited for dinner or any other kind of event, coffee-party, wedding party - however..... but in the meantime everybody had completed the stuff.. hehe..



when she first came to IR, there was no habitude to have a *self-service-dinner* if ppl were too much to sit around on a table, but they met a loooong table-clothes on the floor and ppl had been sitting on the floor! she liked this a lot, but now.. they are no more able to do this........ and I think you can find very rarely ppl who are sitting still on the floor although this was a very nice and cosy place in every home!! long time ago ipue had practised this with her family too - even in their every-day-life!!!



some of the guests brought a gift for the newly-weds!! thank you so much to everybody!!!!!! and our guest from duesseldorf profited as well of the cosy atmosphere and felt very comfortable!



let's remember - PAUL THE BACKPACKER arrived at ipue's at 25th february!! imagine!!!!!!! THREE MONTHS AGO!!!!!!! and as he got a
3-month-tourist-visa he had to leave just until a few days!!!!!!!!



now let's see what will happen with PAUL THE BACKPACKER....
his box is ready for him to jump in!! but there is still a lot of time
until the departure of his plane in the early morning...
