stories of human rights abuse and an enforcement of a strict

me, and in January 2019, I decided to visit it solo. (I set out
solo but the visa rules mandate travel with either a group or a
guide. I chose the services of a guide who accompanied me
throughout). This is an account of my travels through Tehran,
Kashan, Isfahan, Persepolis, Yazd and Shiraz.
