Hey! Check out some of the photos we took, North of Tehran, “Tochal”, Iran. The mountain trip was great! When you are at Tochal you can see the entire city (Tehran) below your feet.  The air is refreshing and where could be a better place to spend a weekend with friends!

The place is called Darband, a wonderful mixture of nature and lots and lots of local restaurants, with great natural scenery at North of Tehran, perfect for a little week-end get-away. Darband is beautiful especially with friends: We started with a 4 person group at Tajrish Square and ended up being ten, as each friend brought with him another friend, and then another. And each friend in turn brought a certain cool attitude to the table. So the gang was complete,  well we could be more, but the early morning sleep some times does to friends, things that are not otherwise possible. :-) The scenery in Darband is beautiful these mid-Autumn days. A mixture of color, yellow, orange, green, and brown, great roaring water, and fresh cool weather makes things close to perfect. Perfect it is when you are surrounded with a fun, loving, energetic group of folks who share the same passion as you do for the day: To make it lasting and fun! Thanks all! See you soon!

Thank you all who came out this Friday to make the English Meetings gathering, lead by Ja’far a wonderful experience for all. It was awesome! Great friends!!! Great Weather! Great Skills by all. I especially liked the hubble bubble session, the breakfast over the river next to the ducks, and the picture taking set-ups, all much fun and full of potential memories. The Istak and Torshak, next to my wonderful friend was just as good!!! :D Thanks all! Hope to see you soon.
