It's usually up to us to blindly wander through a new place and find our way. But that's just the beginning of what is going to make Iran a unique experience for us all. In the mean time we wait. I decided to visit a project in the earthquake areas called Masalevi. While I was there, my friend Ercu picked up a newspaper and mentioned that elections had just concluded in Iran and that the reform party gained a majority in parliament.
New leadership is underway and energy is rising high.
We'll get to explore firsthand what that means for the country. We finally decided to turn to our stateside team for help. They informed us that there had been word from our Iranian contacts and that the big elections had been part of the delay. The good news was that there had been progress, and we were almost there. We continued to busy ourselves in Istanbul.
