Hello friends. How are you? Hope you feel good
I woke up this morning with a message from my cousin saying they were on a short (day) trip and they wanted me to go with them.
The message was very tempting and since I was on leave today, I decided to go with them.
The destination of this trip and nature tour was a lake called "Soha"
Soha Lake is located in Namin city of Ardabil province, 4 km northeast of a village called "Soha".

The lake is actually a small reservoir on which a dam called "Soha" has been built.
The locals call this area "Soa".
"So" in Turkish means "water" and "Soha" is the plural of water.

First we reached the village of Soha. Then we continued along the dirt road until we reached the lake.
The weather was very pleasant and cold at the same time.The surrounding lake was covered with forests and rugged hills.

Most of the forest cover in the area is sparse and the surrounding area is covered with green meadows.
Chamomile flowers delight travelers in summer and in cool and mild weather to increase their travel pleasure a hundredfold.
The locals said that if you are lucky you can see the playful horses in the vicinity up close. Unfortunately, we could not see them on this trip.
They also said the area has wildlife such as boars, leopards, venomous snakes and bears. So be very careful; And if you do not have enough equipment to stay in this area, move before dark

After finding a suitable place to sit, we gathered firewood and lit a small fire so that we could make lunch on it.
Today's lunch was a type of Chinese food that we learned during our trip to China and a type of Iranian food called "Sosis'Bandari".
Explanation about food: "port" means port and "sosis" is the same as "sausage".
"sosis bandari" is the name of a food that is cooked with sausages and other ingredients, and because the food belongs to the southern regions that are by the sea and have a port, it is spicy and spicy.

I will share the recipe for both foods in future posts.
