Half of our group traveling in Iran, trying to give our feet an experience of paradise: "Traditionally, such gardens would have been enclosed. The garden's purpose was, and is, to provide a place for relaxation in a variety of manners: spiritual, and leisurely (such as meetings with friends), essentially a paradise on earth. The Persian word for "enclosed space" was pairi-daeza, a term that was adopted by Christian mythology to describe the garden of Eden or Paradise on earth."

Thank you for the beautiful photos

Thank you.
