The Yemen Chronicles Part 12 Odds and Ends

This shall be my last post of Yemen.. The pictures below are just a few miscellaneous pictures that I didnt add in my previous posts.. for one reason or another.

I was fortunate enough to spend a month in Yemen with wonderful family and friends. Thanks everyone!! I'm determined to visit Yemen many more times, and I encourage anyone else who is interested..

Kawkaban- I mashed two or three pictures together and created this wide angle view.

Sanaa- I slept in this room for about a week or two.. This picture doesnt really show the array of colours that would dance around the room.. but you can sort of get a feeling for the softness in the light.

It's about 2 am right now.. I'm on a few medications... so I won't ramble for too long. I just want to say.. once more.. thank you Yemen! It may sound a bit cliche.. but after exploring my roots I feel a bit more 'complete'. I recommend everyone to discover their roots.. dig up the past.. try on some old shoes.. cough out some dust.. It's quite enjoyable.. Ok.. I'd better shut up..

The next post shall be on.. some other place.
