Alborz Mountains and the Caspian Sea
Alamut Castle - a heck of a climb to an Assassin castle where there is an archelogical dig going on. We couldn't fotograph the dig...
The Caretaker of Alamut (perhaps an assassin himself...?)
Alas, I found Sirab Sherdun, but it's not cooked!
All in one bathroom, S**t, Shower and Shave without having to move. Don't drop the soap...
A very gaudy emamzadeh shrine.
North Along the caspian - very green, rice paddies and tea drapped hills
The market in Fuman
Masuleh - we stayed at some ladies houses for 2 nights.
The roofs of one level are the streets of the next.
Amu Abdullah - always smilin.
Mehran - before the wrestling match - can't show the after picture, he was badly bruised and shamed. (Note: Mehran always wanted to be a member of a ZurKhane but could not pass the test...)
Rice
Tea
Mehran complaining about how difficult the hike is even though he was the youngest one in the group!
Mehran, trying to figure out how to get us to carry him back down the big hill....
Some cute esfahanis - they didn't ask for money (or a visa)
Mehran makes a new friend. (Note: This turtle now shares a cute rent controlled apartment with Mehran in the outskirts of Qom, and is very happy - but misses her family....)
Tea picking
Typical Masuleh weather.
Boat trip in the Anzali Marsh
Mountains north of Tehran on the way back.
