Ride the Peace Train
Images of Tehran
Dear Travelers,
Tooraj Fooladi, a friend of mine who is Iranian, lives in Spain, and has led tours for my company since 1999, just sent me this slideshow of his home country. It takes as long as the Cat Stevens tune "Peace Train" to watch it. I remember waking up one morning almost frantic to take my TV crew to Baghdad to show the humanity of that city, and its similarities to each of ours when it gets right down to people. I was too late. Now I have the same urge for Tehran. I hope you can enjoy a short and thought-provoking trip to Iran (a place that many in our country would personally profit from if we decided to destroy it) by visiting this site:

Thanks,
