(matching to the pic on the pic..) here you may read the story of a great girl who's grown up by a deep pain during the last year!!
as well as we received the stickers too late.. :-(((

boah, what a fantastic day ahead!!!!

after breakfast ipue and her hubby got ready to go out - they told me we would go to their garden at 25 km tehran road to show me real winter in IR!!!!?!?!? they met so many things in their car, I guessed we'll have a great day staying there a long time???!!?!





first we went across the city (pic1) to pick up yashila_81 and lili_6789 from baghmisheh!! juchuuu!! so I said good-bye to their home (pic3) we passed the new bridge (pic2) as well as the shahriyar monument! hossein shahriyar (pic4) was the most famous contemporary poet of azerbaijan; the monument built also by ahad hosseini, you know him from the *horse-tramway* from some days ago! he made poems as well in azeri as in farsi!





btw it was always interesting to see the traffic lights, showing how many seconds you have to stay when it got red - or how many seconds you may still go when it's the green light showing.. we took a photo today, but because of the sunlight not very well noticeable.. (pic5)



after we took the road to gurigoel (pic6+7) the nice lake beside the garden, ipue showed you long time ago here in another season! arrived at the garden's door there had been some wild dogs, *waiting* for us (pic8) - the garden was sooo beautiful with all the snow and sunshine (pic9) even we had our break with coffee & tea outside!! (pic10)





as here was today a mourning day, the 40th day of the mourning time of emam hossein, who died as a martyr in olden times there are a lot of ppl who are taking a vow and prepare some lunch or baking bread or making a dessert for charity, and so we got a special kind of safron-rice-dessert, where the donor wrote even *ya hossein* by cinnamon!! it looks beautiful and the taste is marvellous!! (pic11)







our meal was the iranian kind of makaroni, yummyyy, rice prepared by steam, not only boiled in water. - we stood there the whole day and were back home at 8 PM.



then the sad moment arrived.... ipuenktchen gave me the three packages (pic12), metting each of it in a bag, to bring with me as a souvenir, and finally we said good-bye, kissed each other, wishing all the best for our future - aaand I jumped in one of the bag and ipue took the last photo of me (pic12) and yashila_81 took me with him.
BYE-BYE TABRIZ!!!! :-((((((((((((((((((





thank you, dear ipue - it was so nice with you and your family - I appreciated to much to have a glance at your amazing country!!! - and I'm really curious - WHO WILL BE MY NEXT HOST!!!!!!!?!?!?!????
