Day 10: If you're standing near a road in Ethiopia, it’s common to find yourself in a big cloud of dark-colored exhaust as a truck passes by. Many people find this very bothersome, sometimes even causing difficulty breathing, nausea, and headaches. Some people find the black boogers...well, less than appealing.
My dad is a welder and repaired farm equipment when I was a kid, and there were often old tractors and trucks in our yard—and exhaust is just part of that package. So put me on that street in Ethiopia, send a big truck passing by, and when I'm standing in that cloud of exhaust...I’m starry-eyed and happy, reminiscing about childhood 🚛 💨🤩 #31daysofcalling #lovesinethiopia
