CS in Esfahan

Our hosts in Esfahan were young newly married couple - Shahram and Bahareh. As they were honoring all the islamic traditions then even a handshake between Kadri and Shahram or Branko and Bahareh was totally out of topic. Otherwise the atmosphere in their home was very relaxing. Even with an afternoon nap !

















Esfahan, former Persian capital city, is well-known for its beautiful architecture, historical monuments, gardens and bridges.














Sio-Seh Pole, thirty three arches, about 300 m long bridge, no water in the river at this season...















through the bridge...















on the bridge...



On Khaju Bridge we witnessed a lively Friday midday, when many passionate iranian men gather under the bridge to sing together. The aqustics is really good ! Women can only watch, admire and envy, as for them singing and dancing is forbidden.































The central square of Esfahan is truly an historical pearl.
At evenings you can at any month feel as if it is Christmas time and in the daytime you can imagine that you are walking in palace gardens.

Our routes also crossed with Xavier again. This time - no big beard, but still happy smile on his face.

Women are not allowed to sing, really? I wonder if there would be a country where it is the other way around...
