In the Name of God!
Apparently, Charles did not pay his phone bill and that means I have to blog this entry a day late from a library in Esfehan the day after.
Yesterday, was just a jog to the park, then wait to go to the Bazaar to look for a carpet to buy. We went to the Tehran Bazaar and looked at some carpets. The problem with carpet buying is that they show you carpet after carpet and you just start to go dizzy. I am not sure what I want for a carpet but I want to get one. Having blue eyes does not help your bargaining position here in Iran either! :-) Ah, for Mr. Blue Eyes and light hair, let's add 50 - 100% :-)
After a while, Charles' driver said we could go to Jomay Bazaar which is every Friday after I get back from Shiraz. I guess that is when I will bite the bullet on a carpet to go home with. We then went to Golestan Palace by the Bazaar. It was the palace for the Shah before the Reza Shah. Lots of nice rooms, some entirely with intricate mirrors all along the walls.
Then went to some shop and picked out a Hookah pipe with all the accessories. I also got 3 types of fruity tobacco. Going to have to have some people to try that out when I get back. It is too much work for one person to work the full pipe.
Hung out at Charles' for a bit before we went out for dinner and talked about the old Legion days and where we saw ourselves going. We were at a restaurant where they put out national flags on the tables. He was particularly put out that they had the Swedish flag but not the Norweigian flag. He said that the one thing that the Swedish have that the Norwegians do not have is good neighbours!
Went to bed early because I had a 6:30 flight to Esfehan to catch.
