CANADA DAY!

July 1, 2007 was Canada Day a national holiday and together with the family we packed some food and headed out to Niagara Falls. To drive out there would generally take an hour and a half, however due to the holiday it turned out to be a four hour drive!


We first went to Stanley Park, which sits on the border of the USA. In 1912 'Abdu'l-Baha visited this park and afterwards for many years the Baha'is would picnic there. We walked around and sat and listened to a jazz performance before heading out to the falls.

This was Nahid's second time to Niagara Falls. Her first was 5 years ago when she was in Toronto for her cousin's wedding and the first time we met. The day was gorgeous and we enjoyed walking up through Clifton Hills and playing some Air Hockey.









The next time we'll be out there will be for our honeymoon in July.

FAREWELL TO IMAN FERDOWSI

On Saturday June 30, Nahid and I said farewell to one of my closest friends Iman Ferdowsi. He is on his way to serve for at least 2.5 years at the Baha'i World Centre in the department of Information Systems.











We wish him all the best and will definitely miss him, especially at our wedding.

We spent quality time together playing our favorite video game, Mario Kart on SNES.

After the farewell, we went out and spent some quality time with Naysan's parents in a Persian coffee shop.
