Sad Return to Yemen

Returning to Yemen, in particular the Old City, is a sad thing these days. The traditional gardens are dry, shops are hurting as there are no tourists, and there are few tourists and visitors because much of the Old City is riddled with painted slogans and banners announcing a mantra heard years ago in another country of the region--death and destruction. Very sad!
