My girlfriend and I made that journey from Istanbul to India around that same time, and I recall there was a Turkish bus driver who really took a dislike an American longhair who he was physically getting up and pushing around for no apparent reason -- it just might have been Rick.

Were likewise in Teheran and Meshed during Ramadan, just weeks before the Iranian Revolution gained steam and just after the Afghan border was reopened after a coup -- then down through the Khyber Pass and into India.

Don't think that's a trip one can make these days.
