We're moving!

This whole site is being moved to a shiny new server - as are all my sites, in fact. Apologies for the bumpy road ahead, but at the end of that road things will become fast and smooth.

Once the site at the new server is ready, this message will automatically disappear!

Meanwhile, you can see how the move is progressing at the status page.

No breakfast

When I get back to the hotel, Hussein is sitting on the stoop outside, next to Mohamed. We’re going to have Yemeni breakfast today, Hussein tells me: with beans. Looking forward to that (I’m fond of all kinds of beans), I go up to my room to pack and write a little.

When I get downstairs with my luggage at 10, it turns out that everyone missed breakfast: Hussein had arranged it all but forgotten to tell us breakfast would be at 8… Good thing I had a big glass of mango juice this morning in the new town.

When we leave, we’re also acquiring a policeman, riding in one of the cars: he’ll be escorting us to Bir Alī.
