Greetings from Iran

Post by jona »

Dear friends,I take my chance to write this quick note from the hotel lobby in Shiraz. I hope wish you the best for the new year (including, for example, a better Hollywood movie about our shared passion).The Iranian winter is cold but nice; our car got stuck in the snow at the Persian Gate. We had to dig it out. I've made lovely pics of the site where Darius was killed - again, I discovered mistakes in the book by Michael Wood. More next week.Jona
