Another day, another persian poet.
This time it was Sa'adi - also from Shiraz and also a big enough star to warrant his own park to house his tomb.
We decided to have a bit of a lazy day and spend time in the various gardens which Shiraz prides itself on.
One of them was the Sa'adi one.
All very enjoyable but not much of specific interest to write about.
On our way between two gardens we saw a poster advertising an art exhibition not too far from our hotel so we went along there in the evening. We enjoyed it - one floor was traditional art - calligraphy, miniatures etc - and the second floor was modern art. This was a little dated, a lot of it looked like it was from the sixties - but that is true of a lot of things here.
But it was interesting nevertheless.
