a taste of home.

we had a huge thunderstorm last night. 

i saw it coming on my walk home around midnight when the sky was lit up minute after minute by lightning-- i took the long way and walked to the ocean, standing there watching it for a little while. it reminded me of the lightning storms in costa rica. man, how can it be so astoundingly different watching the sky light up over the ocean? its amazing. 

at about 4 or 5 in the morning i woke up thinking cádiz would once again detach from the rest of spain and drift away into the atlantic, the way it once was. it was amazing. the rain poured down in gallons (or, liters, whatever you prefer). the sky was constantly lit. the thunder was booming. i opened my shades and watched it for a good hour-- breathing it all in. 

thunderstorms will never get old.
