Iran: The Other Side of The Story
Posted January 29, 2013 at 4:56 am by Tim Dustrude
Just heard about an interesting slideshow and talk that Judy Chovan is going to be giving next Tuesday at Mullis Center. Here she is with more:
A mosque in Isfahan, Iran that was part of a former caravansari/madrassa undergoes some renovations
The interior ceiling of the Pink Mosque in Shiraz (home of the shiraz grape). Click for larger view.
In November, Judy Chovan had the opportunity to travel to Iran. Following in the footsteps of Alexander the Great, Nicholas Kristof, and Rick Steves, Judy visited Tehran, Isfahan, Persepolis, and Shiraz.
She had the opportunity to talk to many Iranians, visit historic sites of this 2,542-year-old country, and get a different perspective on the name-calling, saber-rattling tensions between the “Great Satan” and the premier “Axis of Evil.”
That’s Judy with a group of new friends. (click for larger view)
Judy will present a slide-illustrated talk showing the stunning blue-tiled mosques, ancient cities, and modern-day fashionistas – as well as the american Embassy and Shah’s Palace.
Tuesday, February 12 – 7:00 pm at the Mullis Center
