Bubbles in the Bathtub

The last full day of the symposium was marked by a vicious African sand storm. It came roaring in about midday and lasted until well in to the evening. I don't know what it really was, but winds must have been gusting to close to 50 mph.

Here's what it looked like the first day...

And during the sand storm...

Sorry, not quite the same shot, but there was no way I was taking my camera out in to the storm.

The symposium has officially ended, but I'm hoping to post some wrap-up stories over the next few days...
