I don’t have access to my blog in Iran so I’ve asked a friend to copy emails into it for me.

We have just finished a nice breakfast and are going to meet at 8:30 with the rest of the group who we had dinner with last night... a great group of mostly women and a nice leader ,,, a retired teacher.

Tehran so far has been beautiful , the people nice.. the food so so .. and getting used to being hot in our warm scarves... you see everything here.. from full body covering. .. to light scarves.. even saw one woman last night without  a scarf on at all...

But normally every woman is covered up but our guide says that the women began to revolt and the people who were hired to report women who were not dressed correctly have become tired of policing...

Iran is suffering, economically and from corrupt government... our guide says that the people are discouraged and sad... food is not as good as it was.. prices have climbed and climbed... govt has promised and promised stuff but never follows through.

Must shut down.
Love and kisses to all. ‘’Jackie
