The main bazaar in Baghhad offers a large display of goods coming from all over the country. The spice corner is especially beautiful. At the time we were there, the people were very friendly, showing us around and asking us to take pictures of them. Around the bazaar is a caravanserail, an abandoned medersa(Coranic school), and a few mosque. The only sad part was the fact that most of the historic houses had been abandoned or at least seemed abandoned, and were quite runed down. Baghdad must have been very beautiful before the first Gulf War.
