What a wonderful story of how zest and curiosity led you to a great adventure!! I found your Yemen stories inspirational and hope one day I will get to see and explore Yemen too!
Thanks for this fascinating post about your adventures in Yemen Ethan. I hope you will continue to write about and share them in future posts. I feel like my generation of Arabic students felt that they had just missed being able to see Yemen the way in which those among and after us missed Syria. It wasn't by much though. In the beginning, the Critical Language Scholarship Program had an institute in Yemen. When I saw in Oman in 2011 and traveled to Salalah and around Dhofar a bit, I remember them threatening us with being sent home if we got too close to the border with Yemen!
I am grateful that you share this experience. Chance taking matters to me and while it is not in the book of my life that I get to Meroë in Sudan I feel I have visited Marib in The Yemen across the Red Sea. You have filled a curiosity chink of long-standing as I have wondered about Sheba from stories in Meroë

Thanks Michael .. yes Yemen was wonderful then.. I’d love to see Salalah sometime
I enjoy traveling with you vicariously, Ethan. Such curiosity you have--and such a colorful and interesting account of your adventures in Yemen!
Many thanks Ruth — still no food stories, just dogs and sandy places… and lots of yarns.
That’s plenty to consume—very filling!🤗
jesús christ, ethan. didn’t you tell your mother you’d be careful?
