And we’re off! It still hasn’t sunk in completely. With visas to Iran and India, a Eurorail pass for 2, and of course our multiple passports in hand, we have finally left the US and are sitting on our third airplane of the day…first from the Bay Area (Oakland) to LAX, then LAX to Dallas/Fort Worth, and finally from Dallas/Fort Worth to Mexico City.

After talking with the Iranian consulate, I realize how frustrating sexism can be and the differences between men and women. If I were an Iranian man marrying a foreign woman, then she could be placed in my passport or receive her own Iranian passport. However, because I’m an Iranian woman marrying a foreign man, he still needs a visa to enter Iran.
