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
