Sand Storm

Our first sand storm.... ick! The girls and I were at the mall (like every day!) and we left a little too late. It was after 5pm when we left, there was a big accident on the freeway plus the sand storm. Traffic was a nightmare. It took us 45 minutes to go the distance that we usually travel in 5 minutes. Anyhow, back to the sand... it's like it is foggy outside, only its dirt. Mix sand flying through the air with high humidity and you get a dirty mess that sticks to everything. You walk outside and you can feel the dirt sticking to your skin, you can taste and feel it in your nose. I wish that I would have taken a picture. I will have to take one next time.

Here are a few pictures of other sand storms here in Dubai to give you and idea of what it is like.
