Baghdad, 1967

"Baghdad was pretty terrible. It's the first city where I've really had the opinion that everyone was a crook and/or stupid. Our hotel was cheap and dirty - but it did have an overhead fan to provide a cooling breeze on a hot night. We spent the next day walking around seeing nothing of note. We slept and the bus station and caught the 0500 departure for Tehran. $4.50 for the fairly decent bus."

Left Baghdad May 3rd, arrived Tehran the 4th. Baghdad to Tehran - 431 miles
