| Take a few walking tours of Esfahan, then go carpet shopping. Watch out. One carpet store quoted us a price of $1100 dollars for a beautiful Kilim carpet. We saw the same carpet for sale in another store, the price: $200. If you're not careful you'll end up fleeced like the sheep who's wool went into the carpet. | |||

The
snow falls on our last day in Esfahan, frosting the ceramic tiles and our noses.

| Feeling small under the blue tiled magnificence
of the Esfahan's Emam Mosque. | |||
  | |||
| Chehel Sotun palace shows a different side
of Islamic life in Persia, pictures of dancing girls, women with uncovered hair,
and bottles of wine. | |||
