I've added a link to Aljazeera's website. While this may not convince anyone of my safety overseas, it does provide an insight into what is going on in the world from an Arab perspective. Aljazeera is not the network of Al Queda, but more close to an Arab CNN or BBC. As my upcoming trip involves Lebanon and Kuwait, I am watching the Amir situation since that impacts government offices and business, and all things Lebanon since you never know when the borders may close.

The sun slowly gave way to clouds then rain. This is not a city for walking in the rain. Before it was time to shelter and stay dry, I did one last walk around the area. The business district and surrounding areas are clean and little graffiti or murals. Found this flamingo? near the old city. While the leaves probably congest the waterways, they do look cool floating on the water. Ornate door entrance. Soon after this was taken, the clouds and mist lowered and the top of tower stayed obscured for the rest of my stay. I decided to pass on paying to go to the top when there was no visibility. Back in my hotel room I saw this rainbow emerge right before the rain started pelting down.
Wow, my first visit to the Aljazeera web site and no videos of Americans being beheaded!
