Welcome to my site. I have long been asked to post a site that shows my travels
around this great earth, and I have finally taken the time to do so. I hope you enjoy a little piece of who I am as I have
spent a majority of my adult life traveling around the world -- mostly courtesy of Uncle Sam.
PALACE LIFE
Here, I pose inside the Al Salam Palace, which is nicknamed the Four Headed Palace since it once had four huge busts
of Saddam on each corner. A picture of the busts is located on the Al Salam page. This particular palace was the Main Presidential
Palace for Saddam, and is located in Baghdad. Please note the fine marble archways what I am posing with. He lavishly decorated
his palaces, which are located all over Iraq. These archways are actually windows on the landing of a staircase, which
overlooks a grand hallway. Amazing!
