Let it snow!!

So Snow finally has arrived in Iraq, and its not only in the North but it kicked in Baghdad's atmosphere... What a lovely thing to know that the snow, which is one of the miracles of God to the nature had drawn a smile on many Iraqis faces that day when the weather center subjected snow in Baghdad and some other cities!! Is it weird to know that London is still waiting for the snow while Baghdad; the Bride of the middle east had it? HUH!!

Oh well, I was talking to my fiancé on the phone the night before while noticed some thick clouds here and there, I didn't pay attention thinking to my self it is such a different type of mirage happens at night and disappears in the morning ;P

It was 6:30 am the next day, dad was fixing to go out for hunting, and I was covered by two thick blankets and a quilt, I heard dad was mumbling but didn't care. I got back to bed hid my head under my pillow and went to sleep again, I woke up at 9 am and got an SMS from my fiancé telling me that he is witnessing snow in Baghdad!! What? I couldn't believe at first, Baghdad?? No way? since when?

Then I got up and went down stairs, dad was having breakfast! what's up dad? why are you still here? Did you miss the ride? No daughter I woke up earlier while it was raining and then snowing!! we?? Not only Baghdad?? Great!! Let me check... I looked through the window,yeah !!!!!!!!!!!! my eyes were captivated by that spellbinding scene, snow, the smell of the Iraqi tea arising from a hot kettle on the stove, , and warmth inside my house...I couldn't dream of any better, could I! that is what I was waiting for...

But hey, it was like a jail all day long at the house. We couldn't go out cuz the street were muddy. Hmm, lets see what else I can do?? YES!! Marsho always comes up with something interesting! I asked dad if he is willing to take us to Sullymania; the northern city on the next day! Dad thought about it for a little bit and then he said OK...

On the next day: the weather was just perfect, the sun was shining brightly and we were ready to roll...almost two hours of driving and we reached Sullymania.

As usual following our program: first is to visit the malls, markets, public markets, and the restaurant...

I like Sully so much, its all about constructive works, giant buildings, nice houses, airport, Libanese-French Institutes, American university and educated people.

It was very cold up there, yet I had a blast spending the whole day roaming the markets and buy things...

We got home at 6 P.M and I was extremely worn out, after I took a shower I felt dizzy and had some cold along with few sneezes...hehehe.

Here are some pictures I took while on the way to Sully...
