the candy trail ... | Michael Robert Powell said...

I was fortunate to travel Iraq during Saddam's era as a solo backpacker ... if you call, arrested as a spy, fortunate.

Anyway, as the "Cradle of Western Civilization" and one of the apexs of Islamic culture - Iraq has tons of amazing places to see: Hatra, Baghdad, Samarra, Ur, Kerbala, Babylon, Nineveh-Nimrod, the Shiite marsh-Arabs, Barsa, etc; I was fortunate to visit these places ... before mass tourism ever started in Iraq.
