And my room for the next three nights.


Horse and carriage. At about 7:30pm we headed out for a walk with Raad and Amad.


Army of Pride.


At a local restaurant by the Tigris river for dinner.


Checking out the baker baking fresh flatbread.


Some tasty mezze to start.


Followed by some tasty lamb kebab. It was great to chat with everyone and how we all ended up in Baghdad a couple of days after Christmas.


And some sugary tea and fruit to finish up our first day in Baghdad. While chatting with Julian about past travels, he whipped out his passport and showed me a treasured stamp he had gotten, from a visit to the South Pole! I had to admit I was ever so slightly jealous.
