Day Seven: Kirman and its Surroundings
|
The bus taking us to Kirman first stopped at the country house of Nargis, Jeyran and their family in Sirjan. Here we were treated to a sumptious repast in the best Irani style. It was the time of the harvest of the pistachio nuts so many members of the family had been very busy.

The following day we visited the shrine of Abdul Salaam in Kirman.
The Shrine of Abdul Salaam in Mahan

Now it was time to visit Yasi's
House. Her grandfather was
known as the "the King of
Carpets." Her father runs a
Waqf (charity) hospital and
Yasi has a lead role in
managing it. It was Friday so
we performed the Friday
namaz there. Asif acted as
Imam.
Nearby we visited the Shahzadeh Gardens and of course had lunch followed by a walk in the beautiful gardens.

Next we visited the beautiful flat of Jeyran and her family

Then we went to the beautiful house of Nargis and her family

It was decided to make an apple pie, having seen a picture of me with one. It went quite well except that instead of putting the pastry in the fridge to settle it was placed in the freezer. Fortunately it was rescued in time.
