Next stop in my little Iran tour, the jewel of Esfahan. I took the 7 hours local bus from Shiraz to Esfahan. The bus was scheduled for 6am, we left at 6.45am. The bus ride was comfortable, less than 4usd for a 7 hours ride. The restroom stop was...by a local mosque, which is a first for me. And one more time, amazing people.

After all, this is just my fourth continent after having grow up in Europe, lived in Asia for twenty years, and even spent a full year living the life of Buenos Aires.

It's 1979 Revolution Day celebrations!

Few tourists around...but the locals do like to put a show on in front of us...with smiles!

Iran is not going well with Saudi...today and in the past!

I had the place for myself as it is officially closed today....but not for me!

Chehel Sotun Palace

Beautiful, Chehel Sotum Palace

I aked for a quick 2 minutes look....once allowed to go in, my minder make sure I spent way more time to view everything properly.

With those, you know that Iran is way different than Saudi!

Thousands of people in the street

Calculate, that's a good 37 years of brainwashing....

Poor Sam!

Friendly smiles and down with America!
This comment reminds me of friendly Americans welcoming foreign travelers yet in politics, we have Donald Trump who hates Iran and most everyone. And I'm so thrilled when traveling, that people trust and like Americans, but not our government (me neither). Politics seems the bane of peace, and I love it so much that the Iranians have been lovely to you, even giving you an unexpected tour of a closed government palace. Looks like a lovely spot--glad you got to see some highlights!
