    So this is this special village you and Reza were talking about. Indeed it is extraordinary, not in the least because of the coned shapes of the rocks and the amount of the houses carved out of them.

    Wow, what an interesting place. Do you have any more pictures of the inside of the house?

    best wishes on your birthday. It goes without saying I'll never visit here so your good pictures will have to suffice.
