Went to See the Pottery at A' Ali

Today we went to the A' Ali pottery shops.  They have been making pottery here for thousands of years.  They've modernized a little bit by adding LP gas burners in the kilns but shapes and designs are the same as those thrown by potters centuries ago.

Here is a mosque that's right across the street from the burial mound above.  This is the most colorful mosque I've seen:

Last but not least, I unrolled the carpets that I bought the other day.  These are Pakistani wool and silk rugs:
