husband/bf is an Iranian. My bad.He does look like a Middle Easterners though. Maybe his ancestors were Arabs who ruled Spain for 800 years...hahhaha.

Anyway...amazing pics. Pictures like these breed hope in me that the western civilization and the Islamic civilization can learn a lot from each other.

Great pix!

Good looking couple, Enrique could pass as an Iranian. Julia... well, nope!
Luved the pic of Enrique in the scarf!
'revenge' indeed!
So what was your overall impression?
Did you see other cities and towns?
Other than a guide did you know any Iranians (friends) yourself? It certainly would show you a different perspective of the country!

Really enjoyed these pixs, thanks for sharing.

So lovley to see non-Iranians discover Iran...

by پیام on Fri Jun 06, 2008 01:53 PM PDT

... first hand for themselves. Hope to see more foreigners visit Iran, maybe they can uncover the beautifull side of Iran and by doing that maybe world's opinion about Iran would shift toward a more positive angle.
