He was torn, because he wasn't sure he should leave his family here. But he wanted to see his family in Tehran because they were getting older and he said "they won't live much longer." He sounded so serious. Said he hadn't been back in 30 years.

I hope he returns to his family in the U.S. safely.

3. My dear Haole Girl...
It isn't every day that you get to be part of history, is it?

I hope he gets back OK too...

4. Hi Peggy
In my job, I would be just as happy not being part of history. ;-)

Hope you didn't get jet lag. I'm still waiting for you to post more pics! :hug:

5. Jet lag? Moi?
After crossing 9 time zones, I'm afraid that both me and my husband have it!

It's getting better, though...

There will be more pics...

Wanted to give you guys a break!

There are 67 favorites in my PhotoBucket!

I was going to wait till next week, but maybe I'll post them sooner...

Thanks, sweetie...:hug:
