Yemen Trip No. 4

How many times can one person go to Yemen? Well, I don't know, but I went again. I'm still here, in fact, sitting in a fancy-schmancy coffee shop with free wi-fi sipping a latte. I came here for two weeks because I had to leave my housing in Dubai and my housing in Cairo where was not ready yet. So what better place to spend 15 days than Sana'a? Okay, there's conceivably a long list of place names one could use to answer that question fairly reasonably. But I like Sana'a. Most of these are from the city. Some friends came down from Dubai and we went up to Menakah. So some pictures are in the mountains.
