6th day in Yemen

I was extremely excited to see the crater! I had never seen a crater before so I didn't know what to expect! Once I was dressed in shorts, a t-shirt, and TONS of sunscreen! A rushed out the door and hopped into a cab. On the way we passed by a lot of interesting people and a lot more interesting houses. When we finally reached the parking lot for the trail to see the BIG CRATER I hopped right out of the car and ran (for a few minutes, then walked) up to the stairs. This staircase was HUGE and I didn't actually think I would make it (with all my running and everything!) I started to make my way up the long stairway and on maybe my fifth or sixth stair... I looked down! It was then I realized, I am deathly afraid of heights. I turned my eyes back to the wobbly stairway took a deep breath and just RAN, I galloped up those stairs like there was no tomorrow! And when I made it to the top I was amazed by the gigantic gaping hole in this mountain! When I looked back at what I had just accomplished (the hike up the stairs) I felt very accomplished and I held my head up high! Once I had seen enough I slowly climbed back onto the ladder and... RAN DOWN AS FAST AS POSSIBLE! After that I was quite tired so I walked the rest of the way back to the parking lot. Oh but I didn't mention how very HOT it was, I was panting the moment I got out of the car! Anyways I quickly got back into the taxi (so to not let the cold air out) and we got back at about eight o'clock at night. I then had dinner and went to bed!
