Crackle POP!

Last night was the mother of all lightning storms. There was so much snap, crackle, poping THEN crash boom banging, that it top any electrical storm I've seen or heard to date in Arizona.

Our entire chateau (all 15 of us) was awake at 2am watching the sky light up with such vigor. The rain that fell made our pool into an infinity edge and needless so say kayaking was not possible today given the plethora of rainfall.

Today was a much needed day of lounging and naps. I did go out for a 1 hour spin when a hole appeared in the sky. I have one last BIG ride scheduled for tomorrow before I pack up tomorrow night and catch an early flight from Avignon to Paris then Paris to Dallas then Dallas to Tucson. Then crash for a day prior to much change.
