I had decided to have my birthday lunch at a bathhouse turned into a restaurant, having completely forgotten that my birthday fell onto a Friday, a family day in Iran so many places would be closed.
As a second choice we went to a bazaar restaurant we had been to last year, which was one of the few open to have lunch and despite having had to queue for a while had a most delicious meal.
From the Qeysarieh Café we saw the Imam square getting crowded as both polo players and their horses made their entrance and the crowd gathered to watch a polo game. There were several activities going on, still associated to the previous religious days but also to the children's commemorative weekend.
On of the staff members took us onto the roof, whisch will soon be able to the public to have a first hand experience of what it is like to look at the square from the highest observation top. The experience was second to none and so were some of the photos we took.
The evening ended on a rather unique note. We were approached by an eleven year old girl who could speak English as a first certificate-like student, which really impressed me.
