| Iran Tour part two The last days in Shiraz |
| Nargis initiated some cleaning and soon the words on the shrine became more evident and water was brought to clean it.. |
| To find the tomb of Hazrat Jurgani we had to walk in some of the charming back streets of Shiraz. It was a quiet tomb and Maryam had arranged for it to be open for us. |
| Now, at the other end of the spectrum, we visited the shrine of one of the relatives of Imam Reza, Shah Chiragh. His magnificent tomb was very big with marvelous decorative work and the interiors covered with complex mirror work - room after room. Spectacular! |
| The shrine was of great beauty and people would touch it to gain blessings. We offered Namaz near the shrine. After that we visited the home of a new murid - Maryam Isfahani. |
| Finally we paid our respects again to Hafiz Saheb - this time at night. |
| The next day was again sunny and warm. We went to visit ibn Khafif's tomb. I was told that he is actually buried somewhere near but this memorial is dedicated to him. |
| The next stop was another shrine, this time of Hz Ruzbihan Baqli. |
| In case you think we did all this visiting without refreshment - here we are back at our restaurant. |
| On Saturdays Maryam invites people to her lovely flat in order to study the Masnevi of Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi. She was kind enough to allow us to join in even though of course it was mostly in Farsi. |
