Rick Steves in Iran
by Samira M29-Aug-2008
Rick Steves (ricksteves.com) writes European travel guidebooks and hosts travel shows on U.S. public television and public radio. In May, Rick spent 10 days in Iran, filming a TV show (which will air in early 2009). It was an eye-opening trip for Rick, and an important chance to open the door a bit wider to cultural understanding between our countries...or at least between reasonable people who live under two governments locked in an escalating war of words. Here is a little slideshow of some of the people, places and moments that have delighted Rick on this trip, strictly from a traveler's point of view.>>> Travel Journal

Many Iranians who speak with hatred about Iran will have less or no hatred if they visit the country .... even with all the issues and problems that exist there.
