Yemen

Went to Yemen, christmas break, 2004/2005. Saw more than Sana'a this time. It is the most amazing place, truly. Every day we woke up and were stunned by what we saw and experienced. Sometimes it was awful, mostly it was great, but it was always fascinating. For pictures of Sana'a, see the Sana'a gallery below, from my first trip to Yemen. This one is primarily out in the country.
Looks exactly like the rock in Sigiriya, Sri Lanka.
