Senzilla, clara i contundentment, les iranianes i els iraniàns.

Aquesta entrada és un gran, profundament sentit i merescut homenatge a totes les persones que dia rere dia ens han ajudat dins Iran. La generositat, hospitalitat i amabilitat que hem rebut no l’hem trobat mai abans, al llarg dels nostres nombrosos anys viatjant pel món.

L’entrada també es podria titular: NO aneu a Iran, SI…

English note: If you want to know how many Iranians really are, and how fantastically well they treated us, please take a moment to translate this text from Catalan to English. All these short stories happened to us, and do you know what is the best? They are all true! Iranians are really awesome!!

But Iran takes hospitality to a completely different level, something we have not found anywhere else on this journey or on other “normal” trips.

I have conversations in my head all the time about how much I hate what we are doing, how I want my Barcelona life back, how I was happier then.

More often than I should, I count off all the reasons I want to stop, and all the things that make me tired.

Aquesta entrada descriu el que ens ha succeït entre les poblacions del títol.

Aquests han estat els nostres últims dies a Iran. Hem acabat el nostre recorregut turístic sobre (fantàstiques) rodes, és a dir, viatjant amb transports públics, hem pogut seguir fruint de l’hospitalitat iraniana en aquest cas d’amics que havíem fet anteriorment i que hem pogut retrobar, hem caminat molt visitant les ciutats turístiques, hem mirat de descansar, recuperar-nos física i mentalment per, tot seguit, encarar la caminada a través d’Azerbaidjan.
