Khartoum Sand Storm

Just to make sure everyone knows I really am in Sudan and not the Alps. I am in Khartoum now, getting ready to return to Canada in about a week.


All day yesterday was a small sand storm that covered the city. It was a lot like a snow storm, reducing visibility to about 50 meters.

By the end of the day, there was sand absolutely everywhere, inside our house, inside the vehicles, our clothes, and bodies.


This was the view from the roof of Canada House at 0900 am - and yes, that is the sun.
