Internet in the mosque
Near the Jame mosque we already noted a sign pointing to the “Y@zd Internet Cafe” and that’s where Carla and I head this afternoon (this time without getting lost). It’s only a small room with two machines though - both occupied. One of the young men we ask says to come with him, he’ll bring us to another room; he takes us inside the gates of the mosque, then to a side entrance where there turns out to be a library with a room next to it housing several computers where students can work. The machines are modern, with Windows XP, and the connection is reasonably fast, too — much better than in the backpacker’s hotel here in Yazd where we worked last night. First I help Carla to send an email, then I start typing away my backlog while Carla waits outside, shops, and later brings me a very welcome fruit juice: just what I needed since no drinks are sold here.
