Day 3 in Iran

Day 3
Today, I actually woke up at an okay time! I woke up at like 7 or so..which
isn't TOO bad. We all got up and ate breakfast, drank tea, and I read some
Harry Potter. Parnian and Farideh came over, but Parnian, Mehdi, and I left to
go to Parnian's so I could check my email. I was so excited to find out that
she had this thing so I could get on facebook! But I x'ed out and after that
it wouldn't let me get back on because I had to verify my phone code for
FB, and I can't get anything on my phone. After that, we left and got
some ice cream, and Parnian and Mehdi also took me to this pastry type of shop
and we got some little pastries, and they were SO good! It was really sweet
of them to do that. We came back and ate lunch, which was soo good, and then
I ate some of the ice cream we bought..I was SOO full, then I kind of hung
around with everyone, and I got so tired, I took a nap...I like this nap
time thing in the afternoon...I wish it was tradition at home, haha!
After we woke up, we all went to this park and had a picnic for dinner.
Whenever we arrived, Mehdi, his little sister and I went down to the river,
which was starting to dry up, and looked around and threw a few rocks into the
river. One of mine skipped! I was excited, haha. We walked back up and went for a
small walk to this little fountain. Then we walked back and everyone had arrived.
It was Muzgan, her husband and children, Ame Narges, and Farzaneh. We all sat around
and then the kids and I played some volleyball and dodgeball. Their dodgeball was
very similar, but different, it was pretty neat :) after playing around for a bit
we sat down and ate. The food we had was very interesting. I liked it! After that,
the kids and I played ERS. They REALLY love that game, haha. They're very good,
except sometimes, they cheat a little bit by looking at the cards before they put
it down or hover over it, but it's whatever, haha! After that, the kids, Muzgan,
Farzaneh, my dad, and I took a walk. Muzgan and I talked some about what I wanted
to do and about here and how they should come to the US. She said they were thinking
within the next 5 years if they could. That made me excited! Tara kept asking
things that I enjoyed, it was SO sweet haha. We walked, seriously, maybe a mile or two.
We came across a little bicycle rink type of thing. People were riding bikes in a circle,
and we passed people playing tennis, badmitton, soccer, it was really amazing. I wish
we had parks like that at home where people go to just hang out and play. OH! I also
saw some people smoking those water pipe things...they smelt like a mixture of smoke
and cotton candy...it was kinda weird, haha. Once we finished our walk, I rode with the
kids and Muzgan's husband and we got some ice cream. Haha I have had ice cream a lot here.
We just got back and they all left and we're just big chillin now. That was my 3rd day here!

Shayda :)
