Baghdad Anne - Part 7B

Inside the doctor’s office. We had a great medical unit in the Embassy. Plus an actual war-zone hospital.

One eating area. Mostly people who picked up food at the Baby FAC would come here. Otherwise people ate at the actual DFAC (pictures will be published later).

But seriously. This eating area was pretty fancy. Check out the chandelier and the curved stairway.

A random decoration I found in one hallway. This is a cardboard fireplace. WTAF?

Here I am with some of the weapons that were confiscated from Hussein . The gold plated one belonged to Suday Hussein.

More guns and someone’s idea of a joke - Saddam Hussein’s umbrella and backpack - ha ha!

This was one of the lesser-fancy hallways. Still, marble floors and (smaller) chandeliers

Inside of the main lobby.

The “Palace Lounge Internet Cafe.” Books games, class schedule… Some colleagues and I actually took belly dancing lessons there. (No, I will not be posting pictures of that…)

Hussein’s private movie theater. They did show first-run movies there occasionally.

Mural on the wall near coffee shop.

My office view.

Lots of water…

The chandelier I would look up at from my desk.

My first office.

Stairwell in the palace.
