Hey all. We've been inexcusably bad about posting recently, sorry, but this is partly due to the fact that our internet line was hijacked and is now shared with about 20 other students. We've also been really busy--me (Nate) with food poisoning, and both us with school (in addition to our regular classes, we started taking a dialect class at night and are learning lots of great slang). This month has been pretty exciting though. We bought a new hookah, had a nice qat chew, spent Valentine's day at a 4-star (by Yemeni standards) hotel, checked out some local art galleries, and I took to wearing a skirt.
There's our new hookah at our qat party. In attendance were a handful of teachers and administrators from our school, and a few male students. Also of interest: see the massive monitor in the back left-hand corner of the room? Yeah, that's because the monitor to our brand new laptop died and Sony refuses to honor the warranty (reason # 932 Macs are better than PCs!)
Qat Lovers!!!! Pretty impressive wads we have going, for non-Yemenis at least. 
Our good buddy Isam
Local art. It's pretty impressive since representational art is frowned upon here.
the old city
Valentines Day, celebrated at the Sana'a Sheraton with $10 mugs of Heineken. We pretty much hung around the pool and napped all day.
As promised: Nate in a skirt!

Watch out Morgan, all the Yemen women are going to try and steal Nate in the skirt!
Damn, you guys look good with all that qat up in your grills! And Nate is definitely keeping it gangster with the skirt.
I'm glad to finally see an update here from you two! Lots of Love, Lauren (and James)
