"Anyone know how to find about the moms/dads/little kids resident in
Natanz?"
Two years ago, travelling from Qom to Isfahan, we passed near Natanz.
The area is a really desolate place. It is mountainous, devoid of any
vegetation, and except for a few villages, no one lives there. We
stopped for lunch at Kashan, which is a moderately large town with a few
thousand people. Kashan has a beautiful rose garden built several
centuries ago that is fed by an aquifer from the mountains. It also has
a bathhouse that dates from the 10th century. The bathhouse is no
longer functional but is where we had our lunch. The area has a stark
beauty to it.
We also saw a number of hills with anti-aircraft guns on them. They
seemed like show pieces and I assumed the really nasty stuff, i.e. the
SAMs, were less-obviously placed.
