Don't forget, first rule, if you have been to Israel, you will not be allowed into Iran.

A taste of the best!
Good for you for taking the time (and energy!) for a whirlwind tour of Iran, a country all tourists have raved about. Persepolis and Necropolis were properly grand, and how lovely that people were open, even giving you a private guide when you were out alone, and you had a sense of their fine partying and spirits. I love Hafez and his tomb here is so intricate and beautiful. I've seen photos of mosques from your next stop--I can hardly wait to see yours.
