Iran Travelogue
By Doug Burnett

Travelogue Dates

April 10th, Isafan - I felt that incredible rush of excitement that comes with visiting a new place. "I'm in Iran," I said to myself, "I really am in Iran."

April 11th, Isafan - You go out in Iran and you never know who will bring you back.

April 12th, Isafan - I was sad to go and would have been happy to spend a few more days in Isfahan.

April 13th, Yadz - Moghadam also made it clear I should never leave my papers behind - that time I got the message.

April 14th, Kerman - It was here that I met the first and only other American I saw in Iran - Barbara from New York. I wasn't alone after all.

April 15th, Bam - Bam is an abandoned mud brick city. Visitors rave about the solitude of the place.

April 16th, Shiraz - Somehow I found the whole thing frightening, this intense religious feeling is so alien to me.

April 17th, Shiraz - I told the owner I was from America. He was delighted and said he would give me a good price if I would do him a favor.

April 18th, Shiraz - One of the main reasons travelers come Shiraz is to visit Persepolis, the capital of the Persian Empire.

April 19th, Tehran - Airport nightmare: They wanted to know why I had five key chains with a picture of Ayatollah Khomeini on them.

April 20th, Tehran - Iran is a gem. There are few tourists and you will surely receive a warm welcome.
