I remember when I was 12 years old me and my parents took a trip to Shiraz which is one of the most beautiful cities of Iran in terms of its historical places such as monuments and archaic museums. I have always liked Shiraz and before I go there I had always wanted to visit this beautiful place and finally when we went there we bought airplane tickets to be able to get there as soon as possible and then we were staying in a hotel. The weather was pretty hot because we traveled there in summer and we had to turn on the air conditioner. Although the weather wasn’t very appropriate we enjoyed other things in Shiraz. We visited the temple of Hafiz and Sadi and read some of their poems at their temple. We bought many souvenirs from Shiraz and gifts from family members such as my grandmine and my aunt. We went to a restaurant which served us one of its traditional Shiraz. One of the Shiraz traditional foods for us. It was very delicious. I always remember the taste. That was cooked by some of the best chefs in Shiraz. Because of all these good memories and the places we visited, the natural ones or the ones that were related to the history of the city, I always remember that and since I met many people from there and learned their culture, I can say it was a memorable memory for me and I always am excited to talk about that when we are in a get-together and we’re talking about many different things.
