Janet, once again you have taught me something new. I enjoyed seeing and reading about these embassies. Excellent!
I like the Bahrain Embassy with all the arches.
Bobbie: Always my pleasure! (Although, I feel these entries are a little lacking in informational substance, but given that I'm doing four countries per entry it's about the best I can do.)
Maya: Those arches provided a view into the lobby, which looked rather opulent! Unfortunately, given the security around these embassies and the fact that the U.S. Secret Service Uniformed Division provides in-country security for them, I didn't dare linger long enough to take those kind of pictures...
