many events during the last days ;-)

and yesterday we had a 1-day-trip to meet ipue's close friend 7o km far from her 2nd home town!!! it was a long time we hadn't any trip on the road and we were happy to go by bus to north of tabriz!!



we passed the ski area in payam and there was ....snow - LESS than just powdered..... no snow anywhere - no skiing not yet.. everybody is hopefull for january and february - if not they will have huge water probs next summer!!!!



we had a nice time with ipue's friends in marand and we had a great surprise when we met HERBIE in their yard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-0

in the belated SHABE YALDA four couples of the newly weds in ipue's husband's family are cutting the obliged watermelon in teamwork.. *g*



SORRY for the silly watermelons.. but as this gathering was two days AFTER shabe yalda, there wasn't any more watermelons to find.. and it was so hard for son2 - finally he got in a store these *like-to-be-watermelons*.........

yesterday eve we had a bus ride downtown!!
shopping here & there.. and some sightseeing, too!!
still nice weather - it was fun!!

here you may see the park *bustane khagani* with the monument of poet khagani, buried in tabriz!
