The wife of our teaching friend gives us a Persian carpet she made, despite our trying not to carry extra weight! It took her 2 months to make it. For our Irani friends, used to eat every meal sitting on a carpet, the thought of us having our dinner sitting on the ground next to our tent is not quite bearable.
La femme de notre ami professeur nous offre un tapis persan, qu'elle a fait elle-meme, malgre nos protestations (a l'idee du poids supplementaire)! Cela lui a pris 2 mois pour le tisser. Pour nos amis iraniens, qui mangent tous leurs repas assis sur un tapis, l'idee que nous partagions notre dinner assis a meme le sol a cote de notre tente n'est pas tout-a-fait supportable.
