Hanging out at Roberto’s Bungalows in San Pancho, Mexico. Well I got to experience a rain and lightning and thunder storm….as you might not know… our Bungalow’s are located in the Rain Forest… by the beach…I was hanging on the beach one day and I looked down the coast and noticed a real dark cloud formation heading our way….FAST…the sky turned black real fast…I also noticed a change in temperature….real fast…then it started to rain….not your regular rain….lots and lots of rain….you could say buckets of rain….enough rain that in no time at all the streets looked like little rushing rivers….and then in the distance you could hear the thunder….NOW.. I have been in thunder storms before…and they were really fun. You know how you see the lightning and then you count one one thousand, two one thousand…that makes it fun and you also realize how safe you are because each one one thousand is suppose to be one mile away for the Zillion volts of electricity pounding down into the earth. Well the louder the thunder got the closer the lightening got….at one point the lightning would hit and you couldn’t count even to one. The whole village would light up like a Pro football field at night……and then the thunder…it was so loud that it hurt your ears….and it just kept on coming….at one point I saw the lightning bolts so close I thought it was going to hit me…..and then the thunder right behind it…..at one point they were coming together…the thunder was so loud that I was looking at our rentals from the balcony of the main house and I thought the building was going to explode into pieces all over me. I swear to you….I was scared to death….this storm didn’t just go by in a few minutes like most storms….it stayed with us for about 6 to 7 hours. Scary…scary…scary….It knocked out our electricity for a full day…what was really crazy was the town was still doing business as usual…people were walking around on the streets and it seemed like nothing to them…It’s so weird to me when it’s 90 degrees out and it’s raining like cats and dogs…lightning is hitting and nobody notices but me!!! Just put on the bathing suit and go about your business. I love this place………See you in the pool with my umbrella!
