hi, everybodyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!

I got really thrilled when ipue-mom told us our goal, to go to see ESFAHAN.. I heard about, it must be the most beautiful city of IR... and also they call it *esfahan - nesfe jahan*, means, when you had seen esfahan, you had seen half of the world!!!!!!!!!!!??!?!

we started our sightseeing tour around the armenian cathedral in jolfa-esfahan, a great bookstore, khaju-bridge, bazar, emam square, a cosy cafe beside, and last but not least the so called zur-khaneh for traditional sports!!!! in which yashila_81 took part, too!!!! it was so fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and the guys made a lot of efforts and finally got pretty tired with all the heavy stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hey, dear friends & followers!!!!
our 2nd day in esfahan we met at 33-arcs-bridge and started with a view of the beautiful yard of the *****hotel abbassi, a former carvansary... but what a pity, it wasn't like before, coz they were working at the teahouse and no service.......  for sure will be opened for norouz holidays!!!! - ok, no prob... instead of this we profitted from the beautiful toilet.. hehe...

from chahar bagh we went again to bazar to admire the great *industrial monument* the ancient oil press!!!!!!!! really speechless!!!!!! but to take photos was too difficult.... we are so sorry!!!

from there again a glance at the bazar and another chilling out at the cosy cafe roozegar - and GOOD-BYE, ESFAHAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! back home to tabriz by bus, 12 and half hours on the road again!!!

hey, everybodyyyyyyyy!!!!!
believe it, it was snowing the whole dayyyyyy!!!!!! and the same day when we finally decided to have a ride down town.. what a pity for the beautiful spring flowers.. there had been still great spring a few days ago.......... and ppl are soooooooooooo busy for IR New Year after a few days!!

well, we are busy, too.... but not only for Norouz, but there will be a greeeeeeeaaaaaaat challenge, when dear little kia will get a dear little sis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we are soooooooooooo thrilled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and will let you know asap!!!!!!!!!!!!! pls stay tuned!!!!!!! *smile*

well, so finally we went to bazar and everywhere!!!!!!!!!! it was soooo crowded and we got really tired...
5 hours by foot!!!!!!!!!!! puuuuuhhhhhhhhhhh........
and later back home we found such a lot of snow in our aereal.. about 15 cm!!!!!
