Who says we don't get a chance to hang out?

I got a chance to lounge by the pool at Uday's Pleasure Palace.

This guy had a nice set up. A palace has a built in pool, a beautiful deck & gazebo, a guest house in back and a tower with three floors/balconies overlooking the man made lake and Tigris River.

Too bad a dozen or so bombs blew hell out of most of the villa. It's scheduled for demolition soon. 1843623.JPG

At least with all the broken windows there should be a nice breeze.

Stay safe John.

I had an Army sergeant here that was living in one of the palaces- his cot was right under a blown-out window covered in plastic. Good times, good times....

Ha! The muck in the bottom of the deep end was pretty nasty! If you notice, I'm not sitting on the chair cause it was covered with a dried out layer of crud.

Bsevern, they were young girls.

The locals despise him so much for his actions that many are willing to join the demolition crew for little or no pay.
