It was a sad day for Ahmad's family and us as we load the bus in Rasht
for the ride to Tehran. Our flight back to the US takes off tomorrow.

Shireen loved all her newfound cousins but she
really connected with Elnauz. She cherishes
this picture!

Shireen got an easy ride at the Tehran Airport!

Some of the family came to see us off at the Airport.
Our trip was much more than just a trip. My girls and I now know
and love Ahmad's family and we can't wait until we see them again!

I wanted to take this picture of the Tehran Airport.
It was very modern and comfortable with shops for last minute shopping.

We hoped it was ok that we didn't use the praying room before
our flight (ha, ha)! They have them on the planes in Iran Air too!

I was surprised to see the women start taking off their
Montoes (coats) and scarves as we were descending at Heathrow
Airport in London. But the Iran Air flight attendants didn't seem to mind.
It was so liberating to take it off!!!
