Aww, that was kinda cute, not many Americans can say they spent their birthday in Iran, but Rick Steves can.
Iran's rich history goes back millennia, to the days when Persepolis was home to the "king of kings." In this episode, we explore three historic capitals of Iran: Persepolis, with its splendid monuments; Shiraz, with the tombs of Iran's most beloved poets; and Isfahan, with its extraordinary mosques and endearing people.

After exploring the ancient capital of Mycenae, we'll enjoy Greece's charming old port town of Nafplio, take center stage at the remarkably preserved theater at Epidavros, and time-trip through the ruins of Olympia. Then we'll wander off the beaten path along the rustic, rough-and-tumble Mani Peninsula — with a relaxing stop in the idyllic beach town of Kardamyli — and marvel at Greece's Rock of Gibraltar: the fortress town of Monemvasia.
Tonight on #MondayNightTravel: If you know @RickSteves, you know his favorite talk, “Travel as a Political Act.” In this provocative hour, Rick shares insights from his travels in Europe, Central America, Asia, and the Middle East. us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…
🔴 The Story of #Fascism: #Hitler’s Rise to Power
ℹ “He promised jobs, jobs, jobs to everybody ...and that was exactly what they wanted to hear.”
Hitler was a mesmerizing speaker. He offered simple solutions to complicated problems, and he repeated lies over and over until everything he said seemed true.
By 1932, his political base was convinced that he would bring #Germany “above all the world.”
