~ bedroom window after it was cleaned ~
We were told prior to arriving in Bangui, CAR that December is the dustiest month. We can certainly understand the wisdom in these words. This is very normal for Bangui this time a year to become very dusty. The reason for this is, that the 'rainy season' has ended, and it's now 'dry season'. With no rain for 5 weeks now, it continues to get drier and drier here, the humidity has dropped from in the low 90% during 'rainy season' to now in around 70% humidity during the 'dry season'.
The top picture shows a view from our bedroom window looking out, into our lovely garden. The hazy look across the picture is a glass window louver that is completely covered in dust...not, the kind of dust we know in the US, but dirt kind of dust, from the earth being so very dry. This is a result of one weeks worth of accumulation of this dirt dust stuff. The bottom picture shows how nice and clean and clear our glass looks after it was cleaned. I can see clearly now!
