"Don't go chasin' waterfalls..."

"...stick me in de ocean, I'ma make it look real good." You'll need to see Couples Retreat for that to make sense but it never fails to crack me up. Needless to say, we've been reciting it over and over since we got here.

The sky was cloudless all day. Literally cloudless. And it was hot. This explains why I look like a tomato. No exaggeration. No embellishment. I could reach most of the way around my back to put on sunscreen. MOST being the key word there. I have a line on each side dividing SPF 8 from SPF nothing. The nothing-covered parts show the worst sunburn I've ever had, and I've had some doozies.

Near dusk, some black clouds moved in and gave us a lightning show that was absolutely amazing. Lightning is not easy to photograph. It took me about thirty-seven tries just to catch the glimpse in the photo below. But it was worth it.

Up close, it looks like the lightning is miles above the clouds, which it may be but still it adds depth to the picture. I have no idea what it looked like when God wrote the Ten Commandments for Moses but that's what came to mind when I saw this picture.

And finally, I am rockin' the Swagger Wagon. My room is a mile and a half away from everyone else so I'm taking the Thomas Greyhound back and forth each day. You have to watch this video, though, even if you've already seen it.

Day two comes to a painful close. Need help! Send aloe!
