around the world with ipuenktchen

as we understood ipue don't like V-day, except as it's celebrating in FI as a day for real friends!!! but all other mess for instance mother's day, too, created and made up by clever business men, ipue decline!!!!! and so we had no V-day today.... :p

better than this me, POSSY, I had today my cookery course :-))) ipue teached me how to make german *rotkohl* and particularly hamburg style!!! I'm really proud have learned this!! normally she's cooking a huge heap once a year and use it in winter only for the holiday dinners!! mhm - yuuuummy!! I remember well as I had been here for x-mas and new year!!! :-)))))

in a very beautiful sunshine today we went to ARDABIL,
220 km far from tabriz!!!!!



yashila_81 and lili_6789 went two days before, because lili's sis got her 2nd child, and ipue.. took us with her today. we startet at 7.3o AM, back home at 11.3o PM - first we saw the beautiful SHEIKH SAFI shrine & khanegah, registered as a world heritage site in 2010. after we had a nice dinner with lili's parents and last but not least we got the babygirl!!!!!!

btw - today was my mother's b-day - if she had been alive, she had been turned to 90!!!!!!!!!!! - but she died in 2003....

the world is much more beautiful when everywhere is covered by beautiful white snow!!! :-)))))))))) and that's why I like snowy photos and snowy postcards most of aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:-))))))))))))))))))))))))))

well - hm.. it doesn't depend on our desire... :-((( and we have to accept whatever happens.......... with snow or without snow............





today downtown was a bit more crowdy and noisy than usual.. oh yes - tomorrow is a holiday............
well, it's FRIDAY as well - however..





here you may see our town hall in tabriz, built by germans in 1930..



and another look at the BLUE MOSQUE, a calligraphy in entrance outside, and poet KHAGANI - without snow.. less impressing, isn't it??!?
