Inspired by yesterday's fieldtrip, we decided to embark on another today, this time spending the afternoon studying at a local park--it's actually an amusement park next to Fun City, but it only has about three rides. The gardens were definitely more impressive (and safer) than the offered amusements.
Nate, in front of some "sculpture" in the park. It's hard to tell from this picture, but there were loose wires coming out of all the dangly arms. Hopefully they'll wait to cap off the ends prior to turning on.
The Presidential Mosque. Not "presidential" in that it's dedicated to Saleh, but that in it's HIS personal mosque. Still under construction, and costing a reported $40 million to build because, you know, Yemen's so wealthy and there are no better places to put that money, such as, oh, education or basic infrastructure. This gross misappropriation of government funds somehow sounds familiar (Bush?).
The park's partially-completed amphitheater. The stadium in the background is used by the President to make speeches.
