 3:00pm\n\nMore about the trip:\n\nFor 10 days in November and December this 
 year, 14 Americans traveled through the Islamic Republic of Iran visiting 
 cities and towns, driving through mountains and snow-covered desert 
 terrain, meeting and talking with Islamic clerics, rabbis, an Armenian 
 archbishop, students, professors, shopkeepers, government officials, 
 mothers, and activists. Our journey included a meeting in Tehran with a 
 veteran of the eight-year war between Iraq and Iran who has become a 
 filmmaker and peacemaker; several encounters with the Iranian Jewish 
 community in Tehran and Shiraz, the oldest Jewish community in the Middle 
 East; a visit to the Tehran Carpet Museum, the former home of Ayatollah 
 Khomeini and the Shah's palace; prayer in mosques, synagogues, a 
 Zoroastrian temple, and at the tomb of Hafiz; a small women's gathering 
 with the courageous Mothers of Peace anti-war group; a foray into the youth 
 subculture nightlife in Isfahan; bearing witness to ancient Persepolis and 
 modern women in hijab; and so much more. \n\nRead Rae's blog from the first
