Cool day out...
Summer for Tehran residents is a perfect chance to go to higher hills of east and west of Alborz mountains. The route to these areas will eventually take many to the ever green northern region (south of Caspian sea). The hills of Alborz are so refreshing and pure...streams and springs and great gardens and green hills stretching from east to west.
All you want to do is to escape from the heat and spend some quality time in a nice garden, walk into cool streams, pick fruit and get some heavy lunch. Watermelon is one of the key parts after you get up form the afternoon nap. This one above we had left for a couple of hours down into a cool water well and if was cool and fresh when we attacked.
WOW, How much I miss all these stuff...Enjoy

Watermelons in summer are also a tradition in Japan, where I grew up. It's good to know that these things are no different across the world!
