Sana'a

I am way too busy to even begin to go into this adventure at the moment, but I wanted to post a quick picture anyway.  Here's the view out of my window this past Friday morning, looking out from room 601 of the Burj Al Salam Hotel onto the beauty and chaos of the old city of Sana'a, Yemen.  Why did I ignore the US State Department, the remonstrances of a couple close friends, and general common sense by heading off for Yemen?  Well, I'll get into the planning for the trip later, but suffice it to say that I did due diligence and planned a very safe trip - plus, I'm pretty suspicious of anything the State Department would say anyway (grin).  The trip was great and Sana'a is absolutely amazing, and I can't wait to head back.
