  • KASHAN – IRAN

    9/7/2023 – 10/7/2023 Our final full day in Iran began with breakfast at the Seterah Hotel before jumping into the car and heading towards Tehran.

    4/7/23 – 5/7/23 After a decent night’s sleep in Arg Hotel’s incredibly hard mattresses (great for supporting your back!), and a quick breakfast at the hotel – tomato omelette for me, an Iranian lentil dish for Dad – and we were off to our first stop of the day, the Pink Mosque. Named for the…

  • TEHRAN – IRAN

    2/7/2023 – 3/7/2023 Well, today was pretty uneventful! After getting back to Dave Hotel at close to midnight, we knew we only had about an hour and a half before we’d need to head to the airport. After a quick shower, our bags were packed, and we were half asleep on the beds ready to…
