23 Jan 2009, Abadeh, Iran, 13014km

I left Esfahan after a week.

It snowed again on the way! The desert where I camped turned all white by the morning. I've been coming south. It should be getting warmer. How come?
I hate snow. Everything gets frosted or frozen, gets dirty and wet with muddy snow during the day, and that freezes again at night. I'll have to do big cleaning later when I check in a hotel. My bicycle was in a perfect condition after the repair in Tehran. But somehow I feel pedalling heavy again. I hope it didn't get damage again somewhere.

Next day, I saw several tracks turned over on the way. Maybe it was unexpected snow for Iranians too in that area.
Many cars stopped for me while it was snowing, some worried, some offered me a ride, and some gave me food or tea. Most of Iranians are so much kind.
