Baghdad: City of Dust

Today marks my first sandstorm of the year. We woke to a grey, windy day and I was very afraid of rain. (Rain here leads to days of gross mud.) Instead, the wind continued and it has gotten very, very dusty. You see clouds of dust blowing around, meaning you breath in a lot more dust that you don't see. This is some comfort to those of us who spend 98% of the day indoors, jealous of people who are outside.

Tomorrow we will see if the dust keeps up or if it's sunny and warm again. Either way, it beats -1!
