We were in Iran again to see the Tigris and Euphrates River. I was pretty excited. We had just got off the plane and were heading to the hotel. This hotel was the best we went to. I was right next to the rivers and they were pretty. We checked in to the hotel and by the time we were unpacked it was 11:00 am. Since it was a little early, we decided to leave the hotel and start our tour. We usually wait a day but it was early. Abraham was resistant but gave in after a while. We left and headed out. When we got to the rivers lots of people were there feeding the fish or fishing. It was very hot and arid, which is its normal climate. Abraham started talking about the Tigris river first. He said that it is 1,157 miles long. He said that if we were to live there you should be prepared for flooding because there are many catastrophic flooding. We definitely do not want to live here anymore. It was hot and there was flooding, even with all the snow the U.S. is so much better. After that we moved on with the Euphrates River. I liked that one better. Abraham told us that it is 1,725 miles long. After he said that, I was amazed and would rather live near here but then Abraham told us that there still is flooding from the melting of the snow. He also said that the current is less than one mile per hour. Then we were tired because it was about 6:00pm and we were hungry so we went to eat and then we went to the hotel and went to sleep. The next day we planned to go to the Red Sea.
Peace, Love and Hope.
