About this blog

Two weeks touring the Highlights of Ancient Persia, now modern day Iran. One of the members of the Axis of Evil or a land of hospitality and culture. Time and personal experience would tell.

Read and ponder. I hope you enjoy the blog and feel inspired to visit sometime soon.

For a wealth of photographs of the tour go to www.emeraldpersia.shutterfly.com and lose yourself in the magic that is Iran...
