See a video of the water and rock flow at 1:30 P.M., Oct 5 , 2021. I love how the small black rocks caught in the flow pop up like popcorn from the rush of the water. This “river” is not normally here. It is the product of heavy rains and perhaps a waterspout that lifted from the lake and spilled its water out on the mountain above us. It has carved out a channel with the huge boulders that rolled down hill with it and gouged out the cobblestones and soil all the way to the carretera (main road) more than a mile below. Lots of force in that water.

Morrie and I are swinging in the hammock making up for just two hours’ sleep last night. Leslie just called and we made plans to go to Viva Mexico on Friday. We’ll have a margarita in your honor.

As I recall, Leslie doesn’t drink so I’ll have to drink your margaritas for you. Tough, but somebody’s gotta do it.
