Elin has traveled to many parts of the world many Americans don’t see. This week, she shares another sunset from her time on the road. Here is a sunset from Bostan Abad, Iran. Enjoy.
An Adventure Inside Iran
I guess all people who read the news are biased in their view on Iran. I was excited to go there as it has been praised by other travelers I know – but my family was not happy with me. It is wise to listen to other travelers?
The people we met all emphasized that even though people follow the rules of the strict regime of Iran, they do not necessarily agree with it. For me, the people from Iran were hospitable, helpful and curious. They did everything to make my stay in their country become a wonderful experience. I would say that Iran is just as beautiful as this sunset outside our hotel the second night in Iran.
Bostan Abad, Iran
Other highlights from Iran was the buzzing life of the bazaar in Teheran, dinner in the popular restaurant area of Darband in Teheran, a party with the locals at a friend´s house, some days in the charming and beautiful town Esfahan and a camping trip with our new friends high up in the mountains on Filband.
