Sand

 This is the street in front of our apartment.  The woman is using a bundle of dried grass to sweep up the sand.  This is a common sight along all the roadways.  They take it home and use it there ( many make their own bricks to build with) or sell it.  

The task is finished and she is on her way home.  She lives in the neighborhood behind us.  There are always young men selling sand along our street.  During the early morning hours they carry heavy bags of sand from the beach to our street.  It must be illegal because they bring it in with the sun and change places along the street each day.  They and the piles are no where to be seen when a police truck drives through.
