Lightning ... Ooooh yeah !!!!

I stopped just before Gap, Arizona to watch some of the storm action. I captured a few lightning strikes and they are slowed down to 1/8 speed for your viewing pleasure.

That would have been cool if you edited it to make the car in the background disappear into a cloud of vapor at the base of the lightning strike.

Full moon...

Image
It was so very nice to be able to walk on the beach under a full moon in November in sandals, shorts and a tank top. The night was so very quiet except for the sound of the surf and somewhere, way off in the distance, Mariachi music was playing. The night was humid so the moon doesn't show in the photo the way it looked in person. But there it is anyway. The return trip was just as beautiful.

Yuck !

It was a little chilly in the van when I awoke this morning. I could tell that the wind was still whipping around so I looked out the window to find it is raining and snowing. It's sticking in some places but the roads are clear so getting around town is no problem. I would have to go through Flagstaff to get to Casa Grande but they say it is worse there so I will hunker down here for another night. They are predicting a low of 22 tonight here in Gallup, Brrrrrr, so I will see what it's like tomorrow after lunch as they say the roads will be clear by then and the front will have moved through. It's quite a difference from the 88 degrees that I enjoyed just a couple of days ago in Carlsbad. That's traveling for you!

Day one: Guadalajara

Guadalajara airport 9:00 am. I just barely made the flight but was fortunate enough to be seated next to Giovanni The Margarita King who is the founder of the beverage The Margarita King (a ready to drink margarita in a bottle). It was an absolute pleasure to spend a couple of hours with him, sharing stories and beliefs, understanding of the universe and how it works and so much more. His is a wonderful success story that was published in the book Starting From Scratch by Wes Moss. I look forward to keeping in touch with him as I make my way through this next phase in my life. I arrived in Guadalajara about 2:00 pm and found a descent hotel. I then took a walk down to the Plaza de los Mariachi for a nice dinner of Pozole and a couple of Negra Modelos while being entertained by vocalists and dancers all in traditional dress. I walked several blocks around the area to get my bearings and made it back to the hotel before it got too dark.
