About 110 kilometers northwest of Sana’a lies a conclave of mountains and a sense of history.

All my life I was fascinated with your country, had a short stop at Aden in 1962 migrating by ship from Germany to Australia. Now, at 73 years of age I made it to Sana'a last March. Travel agencies wouldn't connect me to any tourist authorities in Yemen and adviced me not to go because of terrorism threat! So I just flew into Sana'a, was fortunate to be connected to a knowledgable guide with car and spent a mesmerizing time traveling with him to Kawkaban, Shibam, Wadi Dhar, the Ghat Market, Thula, Jewish Village and of course spent a lot of time at Bab al Yemen.Your people I found gallant, honest and since I didn't want my guide to chapron me all the time I explored all sorts of hidden corners and was always greeted with respect and kindness. Had young boys pointing out special interesting things I would hav e missed. I would like to see the other famous Shibam one day.
If there is someone who would like an email friend, I'd like that, just remember my age!! Ha, ha
