Dirt

Dirt is everywhere here.  The streets are dirt, parks usually don't have grass; just dirt, some people's houses have dirt floors if they haven't had enough money to but in a tile one, soccer fields are pure dirt, and it's always in the air.  It almost never rains, unless it's the wet season, so it's very easy for dirt to get kicked in the air.  The cars, the people, the bikes, and everything else which walks or moves anywhere helps get more dirt in the air.  From the air it just travels everywhere.  They'll be a coating of dust on tables and surfaces if the window is open and you're not using them.  You get some ombre dirt on your legs from walking around.  The thing that's the worst is that the soccer fields are solo hard packed dirt.  It's not fun or anything to fall in grass when you're playing soccer, but on dirt it's way worse.  My knees definitely aren't a pretty sight right now from a couple falls which ended in bleeders, with dirt already making itself at home The one that's actually pretty though is when it's really kicked up in the air in the afternoon.  Then when the sunsets it's gorgeous. The purples and pinks look amazing shining through the dust which you didn't realize was that thick in the air until now.  It looks almost hazy.  The moral of the story is that washing your feet is something that needs to happen every night regardless of weather you just took a shower three hours ago.  (Unless of course you didn't go outside.)
