We took breakfast around 0730 and drove to Al Hajjarah. It was my second time at this stunning village set on top of a rock. From here, we walked to the next village and back. That took around 0900-1230. Fortunately there wasn’t much of a downhill hike which seemed to upset my left knee. Assam didn’t take us to the gun dealer, which was a bit of a disappointment.
We took lunch at Al Hajjarah before going to Assam’s village. The American boy wanted to go shooting so Assam took him somewhere for a few.
We returned to Sana’a thereafter for a simple dinner of fasulya (beans) and bread.
