16. It's funny how we think we're so doggone jazzy here, some of us
But minds WOULD be blown if they could see some of the neat stuff floating around in other parts of our world!

The thing that is great about Iran, aside from the people, who really are nice and regular and kind and welcoming (not fundy-crazy, like the stereotypical representations) is the countryside. The sky is so blue it HURTS, if that makes any sense. It is just saturated with blue. At night, it's like velvet, if you're away from the cities in the desert. Incredible. And some of the architecture is just dazzling, as well.

Hell, I sometimes wonder if I'll live long enough to ever see America and Iran be friendly once more.
