On our second day in
Iran we flew to Tabriz, in the Northwest corner of the country, where we saw all the important sights, the highlight of which was the
historic Blue Mosque of Tabriz. The picture on the left shows me inside this
mosque, wearing the headscarf required at all times in Iran. We ended our day
with dinner in a pavilion on El Goli, the famous square lake in the centre of
the city. As it was Thursday evening, the beginning of the week-end, after
dinner we joined hundreds of local families enjoying a stroll on the
entertainment-filled perimeter of the lake.

The next day we drove to some remote archaeological sites, the
first of which was the still-inhabited 800-year-old conical cliff dwellings of
Kandovan.
