Bringing it down a notch

Because we have had so many complaints about how blue the sea and sky are, we thought that today we'd give you something a little bit different. We have been having some tropical storms here for the last few days and we got some awesome pics a couple of nights ago. Now you might ask us to remember what you should not do in a thunder storm.... find the highest point under what is essentially a big tree and take photos. It got especially exciting when fork lightning hot the bar opposite. Well they just carried on the drinks and music. Then of course three fire engines came rushing down the pedestrianised road outside our apartment and stopped two roads down from us. Don't know what had happened there because our view was obscured in that direction by the big palapa roof we were under. Before we made our hasty exit we managed to get a few shots. Thats right, we go into the heart of the danger zone so we can bring you the latest news and images from the Yucatan. We are Adam and Tess and this is what we do.

So here is the sky with no lightning
...And here it is lit up only by the lightning!

Crazy huh! On another note, Adam is building up his tolerance to cyanide having consumed a local Chaya plant leaf before it was cooked. It is a type of spinach that is only looses its cyanide content after being cooked. Before we realised this Adam decided to give it a taste raw. Luckily he only ate one leaf and so is fine... his body temperature is obviously so hot here in Mexico that he cooked it internally. Phew
