PESO:

Our next two adventures:  Leaving Abarkuh, we visited the Aghazadeh Mansion
with its famous windcatcher which is featured on the Iranian 20000 rial
bill.  If you are interested in Iranian architecture and how the
windcatchers work, these might be interesting.  The old guy who was the
caretaker was very interesting to me!

and hit next 24 times.

Then, even though it is not allowed for American citizens to stay in
Iranian homes, Hossein arranged for us to stay on a farm between Yazd and
Shiraz.  It was great with lots of family around, including Aslam with a
rose in her hair:

They grow roses to make rose water.

I'm still working on the farm photos and will be for several days.

C&C greatly appreciated.
