South Sudan started it's dry season this week. About two days after our last rain, we began to experience some specific symptoms of dry season. The following are a few points on a working list...

You Know It's Dry Season when...

• Ash is falling from the sky (the Sudanese burn large areas to prevent uncontrolled fires from destroying their homes)
• Wind with no clouds (Wind during the rainy season almost always brings rain)
• A dusty hazy fills the air every evening (living next to a dirt road doesn’t help)
• You have to constantly sweep and wipe everything down from the constant sand in the air
• Sand Storms (not fun)
• There’s a smell of burning in the air (no, that’s just sand)
• You have to constantly brush the grit from your teeth (sand again)
