lightening, rain, gale force winds, African sand storms, high seas, closed roads, broken shutters---this is not what i was promised! yesterday morning the previous night's storm lingered, blowing red Sahara desert dust over the rooftops and cars and sloshing down large terracotta puddles in the street--the sky was glowing orange, yellow-green and gray--no way to describe it here, but it was eerie and beautiful.
and then it was just crappy, wet and cold.
