Return to Yemen

I am now back in Yemen. Both flights back here went quite well, though admittedly on the Delta flight to Frankfurt the movie system wasn't working so the only TV I got was a Numb3rs episode on Justin's ipod. Our reentry into Sana'a occured perfectly, we walked into the airport, were third in line for passport control, got all 8 bags while most other people there were struggling to get 2 or 3, walked right past security without them opening any of our bags, and had Faris pick us up and take us home. Probably record time for our family. Security didn't even comment on my laptop bag, which had like 20 cds and movies in it, which was nice. On the way home we stopped at Yamal-El-Sham and picked up shuarmas which was sweet. Then, on the way home, we discovered that one of the streets leading into our house was torn up, and were unsure how to get in. Fortunately, our landlord happened to be walking home at exactly that time, and we picked him and he told us how to our house. Our street was half torn up, the roadwork stopped just before the door of our house. Talk about amazing luck! Apparently they plan to tear it up within a day or two though, we're just hoping that they wait until we are in China for them to do it. When we got home, we ate, unpacked the duffel bags, and went to sleep. I then slept for 15 hours straight (could be a new record for me...). When I woke up I promptly got on the internet, and had fun blogging and checking my email. I think I'll go take a nap now though...
