Courtyard Experience

This is one of the side streets, partially covered, and beginning to fill with shoppers.  This is where the locals shop, and we found this is where the "covered" women shop for their special coats and there were tons of scarf shops.

The "cocoon" han,  part of the silk trade, leading into a courtyard.

Inside the courtyard there are 3 levels of shops, as well as tea houses and restaurants, and tons of outside dining areas.


There was also this small Mosque.

Cheryl was very serious about something by the Ablutions Fountain under the Mosque.
