My buddies on the train from Tehran to Kerman

Kerman is one of the last places one reaches before getting to Pakistan. The town is small enough to see in a day or two. The bazaar is nice and the people were very nice. I still receive emails and phone calls from a young guy who wants to speak better English and come to the U.S.A. or Canada. I think Kerman would be more attractyive if Bam was still standing, but that is not the case. One of the best things about Kerman is that you can get here overnight on the train from Tehran. The journey covers alot of ground in a decent period of time. I made some friends on the train ride, as you will see in the photo....

Pros and Cons
