Summer update

Well it is official.

I have finally figured out my summer.

I know that you are sitting there with baited breath going "Just tell us already." I have decided to go to Yemen for the summer. Taking an Arabic course at the Sanaa Institute for Arabic Language(see the picture on the left from their website http://www.sialyemen.com). I decided for a few reasons. First I am really enjoying my time in the Middle East and would like to stay here for a while. So learning Arabic (at least a bit of it) will come in handy. Secondly, I really don't want to travel all summer and sweat like a pig in Southeast Asia or Kuwait. I will be in Sanaa which is at about 7000 feet above sea level, so summer should be cool. I leave here in about six weeks so I am pretty excited.

Last but not least, I have purchased a digital camera. I have started posting pictures on another site: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jefflindstrom/

Now the site contains mostly pictures of my trip to Lebanon and from the school talent show. I will add more Kuwait photos soon. And then there will be some from Yemen as well.

Well hope all is going groovy.
