When I came home one day the elevator was out so I walked up the stairs as they were coming down. By the time I got to our top floor, I had a mouth coated in dust, I can't imagine what it is like for them.

Pictures Sara took
These are of the men working on the apartment below us, they are removing the stone floor with sledge hammers. Transporting the stones in baskets on their towel-padded heads, one man walks the basket down one flight of stairs and so on forming a work line out to the street. This has been very LOUD. Everything here is hand done, there are probably 20 men working on this job. It is amazing to consider that the entire building in which I live was constructed by the hands of men such as these.
