Day 67 Sunday


Sunday morning we are invited to breakfast with Berry’s family, so we postpone our work on the tile--we can get to it after lunch.  Lots of pictures here today, click on the image to see a larger view!




After breakfast we walk to the city square to see the Novruz celebration. It is full of people celebrating and eating and showing goods and dancing and riding rides--there are even a couple camels. 




Lots and lots of police there too, it has been speculated that they are not wanting any type of outbreak of protest.


We are leaving now, and we pass an ATM, or a bankomat as they are know here. I had to snap a photo--most people would not believe it otherwise. A dozen people all crammed in on each other. Hey--do you want some help? What's your PIN?



On the walk back the Berry’s house Berry’s dad informs us that they are going up to the mountains today and we would be welcome to join them. So, we postpone the tile work some more and take a trek up to the mountains. It is only about a thirty minute drive, then about a 15 minute walk up to a very pretty meadow. We toss the football and the frisbees and relax.






All in all a very nice day.
