Almafi Coast-- wonderful. Looking out of my window into rain and snow then this destination is even more tempting.
I am reading about Persepolis- the ancient city near Shiraz and learning about Norouz, the festivity on 3/21.
The little girl from Iran in my class gave a "speech" today how this is celebrated.
First spring cleaning, then cooking 7 dishes, all of them have names starting with S- this is because of the Iran name for New Year starts with S.
Then they all will get new dresses. Sweets and presents, too.
And they have to be kind and good to family members and neighbors. Their behavior on that special day will influence the coming New Year.
She is already very excited.
