We visited an ancient Zoroastrian red mud village in the mountains near Isfahan. There are only 30 families left there and they are mostly elderly people. The kids have all left for the cities. We visited a bakery, met some women on the street and talked to Soghra, an Abyanaki widow. The women here wear a colorful chador which is their traditional costume. They speak Middle Persian here which is very different from Farsi but Hossein managed to translate most of what she had to say. She had come back to visit but now lives in Tehran. Her only son, a doctor who lived in Kerman, had died of a heart attack when he was only in his 50's. She comes back to the village for the quiet and to get away from the city. We really like this village and would go back any time. I have a lot more photos to process from there! http://tinamanley.photoshelter.com/gallery-image/Iran/G0000YmlbTddL96g/I0000PrFtiRdZnKo And keep going until there aren't any more!!
