In 1970, having flown up from Aden, I spent 10 days driving a Mercedres car (very old!) from Ta'iz to Sana'a and then across to Hodidah on the Red Sea coast where I remember paying £1.50 for a double room for the night! A wonderful journey, including offers of grenades and land mines left over from the recent war, memories brought again back to me by your wonderful photos. I am now retired and doing some watercolours of Yemen to pass the time. Many thanks John E Franklin UK

Thank you for giving me such lovely images of Sana'a. I have a young American friend who adopted Islam many years ago, moved to Yemen and married a local woman (cousin of his friend). As a native San Franciscan I was having a difficult time imagining him living in a community where the camel was harnessed to the stone grinding wheel, etc. -The screwy ideas we get from the media!

Actually, he tells me that he has yet to see a camel! --Lovely gallery. Thanks again, peace --sm
