Journal Entry:
Spent the day taking everything out of the car. Also took out the radio I'd put in and re-installed the old one. Tentatively sorted out what I was taking, what I was sending home, and what was trash. Realized that I couldn't find the registration anywhere so headed to the RTA to get a duplicate. Predictably they wouldn't accept my Washington drivers license as ID and I'd left my passport behind. Raced back got my passport and made it back in time to be the last person helped for the day - amazed myself by not getting lost once! Also called the Iranian embassy and was told a visa would take two to three weeks to process, and furthermore they could only help Australian residents. So no Iranian visa for me here. I'll try again in Cairo, but it's looking doubtful.

Got take out Chinese for dinner and watched the video "Four Rooms".
