Baghdad
On the Road in Iraq
Tuesday, May 3, 2011

Baghdad was the recipient of Saddam’s largess (and the PLO too), but the south wasn’t really on the nice list and has been a cross roads for conflict for a long time, which has left a mark on the landscape.

The road to our camp turns into a 4wheel drive adventure.
A little different from the sun a day before
