March 27
Headed toward Esfahan in the morning with a stop to see Cyrus the Great’s tomb, and the ruins of Pasargadae. This is also known as the Mausoleum of the Martyred Mother of Solomon.
Sad horses and sales booths at the entrance to Cyrus the Great’s tomb.
There are more ruins here, but since it was Nowruz the throngs meant we would have to depend on a bus to shuttle us out to them and back and we still had hours to drive to get to Esfahan. So we departed Pasargadae and arrived in Esfahan in time enough to visit 2 bridges and a tomb before we had dinner.

- Bridge #1

- Throngs walking across the bridge

- It was windy and busy

The bridges are so beautiful! I love the one at dusk with the inside of the bridge glowing. They’re so intricate and symmetrical.
