Iranians are friendly, the land spectacular

I went because: I had heard many negative things about Iran from our media and I wanted to see and experience it for myself. Also, the art and architecture are so great.

Just Back From

• Postcard: Just back from Paris 12.28.08

Don't miss: Persepolis - this place is amazing. It was the Persian capital between 500 to 300 B.C. And they are still excavating.

Don't bother: Worrying about how Americans are treated. The Iranian people are very interested in speaking with Americans and learning about us. (And no alcohol for three weeks is not unbearable.)

Coolest souvenir: Two small (old, not new) Persian rugs.
