3rd day in Yemen


AGAIN, I woke up with the sun (obviously) I stepped out of my tent into the brisk morning air. I checked for "ants" down at the river thing, NONE YET! I searched my bag and found one remaining candy bar (thank god for my skills of OVER packing) in which I gobbled up! I waited for about an hour before checking for people down at the swimming hole. Aaaaaaaand YES it looked like a family of yemen's were splashing around in the FREEZING water. I stuffed my tent back into my bag and practically fell back down the steep mountain/hill. When I reached the bottom the mother of the family ran up to me thinking I had been lost in the mountains for WEEKS because suposedly I was kinda dusty and my hair was kinda CRAZY! Thankfully the father spoke some english and I was able to tell him my story and ask for a ride back down to town! He said sure... I think? Anyways they showed me the way to there car and dropped me off in town, making sure I had a ride and plenty of money. I finally got back to the hotel and I climbed into bed and took a nap for a few hours. After that I left again to do what I had planned for the day. Hopefully today wouldn't be SO exciting. The National Museum was fun aaaaaaaand BORING sooooooo boring! Just a little bit too un-exciting! So I wasted time by running through the halls and sliding on the marble floor! Sure I hit (and broke) a few statues but they can be glued! And at least I got out of it alright, I could have gotten hit by a peice of shattered MARBLE! After that little incident I decided that I would just go and find a good park to play in or something. I wasted about 30 american dollars on taxi's driving around and ended up not actually finding a playground. But by that time it was the end of the day and time for me to return to my hotel room. That night I ate another bowl of some strange kind of soup that I couldn't find the name of anywhere! And I slept VERY confortabley in my nice soft CLEAN well, semi clean, hotel bed.
