I sent this to John earlier, but didn't want to shortchange the
group on the real Iran and what's it's actually like to travel there.
Check out the short video on the ricksteves.com link below.
Maybe JT can do something *really* controversial there like
brandishing his German uniforms or shaking a woman's hand..

Steves visited Tehran, Esfahan, Shiraz and Persepolis. He also went to
Esfahan's Imam Mosque, which he found to be both "a vibrant place of
worship" and tourist attraction.
