DAY 64 - FEREYDUN KENAR



64) TUESDAY, 30 AUGUST 1977 : 0KMS. - FEREYDUN KENAR ON THE BEACH (CASPIAN SEA)

The weather turned better today so we rushed into a sunny afternoon swim in the CASPIAN sea.  In the afternoon, we received  a gift from Sirous,  grilled fishes again (hoping that he didn’t think we were cats !).

In the late afternoon, a jeep of Sirous sunk into the sand beach just near the sea.  They had to call 2 trucks to help hauling up the jeep from the beach.
