Iranians love chandeliers

I felt like moving, but just within the city. I didn’t want to leave Sari, and neither did I want to leave my friends. However, I felt like it was time I gave them and me some space and stopped my occupation of their living room.
So I packed up the Caboose and stepped out on the street. It was going to be one of my shortest walks ever: one or two kilometers.
The city reminded me vaguely of Paris:
I think it was the white facades and the restaurants, cafés, and shops that opened onto the pavement.
Ironically enough, I managed to get lost on this tiny little walking day.
Walked past a playground:
Bought a bunch of apricots and apples in this fruit store:
And then I noticed something that symbolized a part of Iran that had always baffled me:
A store that carried almost nothing but… chandeliers:
Maybe I’m wrong, but I think the people of Iran have somehow fallen in love with chandeliers. There are just too many.
Okay, not all houses and apartments that I’ve been to in Iran had a chandelier. But many of them did, maybe even most of them. And sometimes they even had a bunch of chandeliers. Big, fat, blingy chandeliers.
Oh, and I ran into this dude outside of a sport good store:
Good times.

Favorite quote of the day: “it heats your balls” ? ? Also, I am sure there are more than “a few people” that are following along with you on your journey! I know more than a handful, myself, and that’s only here in Wichita! You’re kinda wonderful, after all ☺️
