Back to T.O.!

Well, the Volcano kept its cool and allowed us fly to Iran. The trip to Iran was amazing. I enjoyed every single second of it! We visited family and could do sight seeing. We went to Isfahan and Kermanshah and both cities contained such rich history. Specially Isfahan, I was amazed of the beauty of "Naghsh e Jahan square"-400 years old. The beauty of the Islamic architecture combined with old persian bazaar and the history of each place was astonishing. We visited, Qayserieh Portal, Shah/Emam Mosque, Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque and last but not least magnificent Ali Qapoo Palace. We did some spice and herb and art shopping from the Bazaar. I understand why now people say to see Isfahan it is like you have seen half of the world. In my humble opinion in comparison to EU cities, Isfahan is a jewel.
At Kermanshah, we stayed at my grand mother's place and visited the city including Tagh Bostan.
In Tehran, we visited the Great Bazaar. This Bazaar is where all the shop keepers come to buy goods from for their shops.
The weather was great and enjoyed eating good food. Relaxing and playing a bit of Agatha Christie's computer games.
I met pishi's friends and enjoyed their company. This vacation made me completely relaxed and energized. I was so over worked and stressed out with work and school that I really needed this vacation!
Afterwards we flew to London, England and stayed there for 3 weeks. It was great over there, pishi's family were very hospitable and the food and desert that host made was amazing! We spent majority of time site seeing and the icing of the cake was St. Paul's Cathedral! We climbed up the stares to the very top to visit the great view of London from the top. We also visited tombs of many famous people including Alexander Fleming and Florence Nightingale.
We flew back to T.O. last Sunday and Monday I was off to work. It was nice to be back to our home but this vacation has made me realize that I would like to enjoy the beauties of life and not to spent my time away with work. The funny thing is that the plane that we caught to get back to Canada got cancelled the day after we arrived due to Volcano's eruptions. Although I am happy to be back, but I wished it erupted while we were in Iran so we enjoy more time there!!I guess I lack excitement and creativity in my life and that is what I am going to pursue.
To that end this long Victoria weekend, I am revising my resume and I am going to start looking for some positions with less stress so I can enjoy the beauties of life.
