Part 3 - CROSSY's Norouz-Trip with MISSLONDON
Hello!
It's a lovely sunny day in Ilam and we're going to have breakfast! In fact we can't enjoy our journey without it!

Ilam is the capital of Ilam province and just like all western provinces here borders Iraq, too. The city was damaged a lot during the eight years war with Iraq. Poor people lived in tents outside the city due to daily bombing.

Most of Ilam's attractions are natural, located out of the city. We had a visit to the city centre and were going to Vali Castle or Vali House. Vali was the name of an affluent family in Ilam, they had lots of lands. They lived in Qajar era. Later they immigrated to Iraq. There were beautiful rooms and wax sculptures exhibiting traditional clothes of the region. Nomads, their lifestyle, their marriage celebrating, cookings, tents, huntings, and the Vali's life in thelast room.































We are about to leave Ilam to Susa today!!!
Tomorrow we shall see some magnificent places!!!
Can't wait to tell you about them!
