Amid a constantly changing landscape, our guide Hossein led us up giant boulder-strewn hillsides and past juniper trees to the 2,500-m Tizi Mezik pass, only to drop sharply down again into a mineral-rich valley of red earth and terraced villages. The next morning - with a night's snowfall caking the red soil and pines - everything looked different again.

Spare me. Do I care that some imaginary red-haired girl is worried that after a drunken one-night stand with a sketchy upperclassman, she might have an infection in her nether regions?
