Wild weather and los colorines revealed

Another wild thunderstorm last night. The lightning was spectacular. It's like cartoon lightning, big jagged stabs that light up the whole sky. Then this morning, all is calm and beautiful, a gentle breeze ruffling the pine needles, everywhere green and sunny. Not a hint of last night's mighty meteorological tantrum.

It turns out the part of the colorines that you eat is not the toxic seeds but the flowers!! So I will try them after all, if I get the chance. Apparently they are delicious, quite fleshy. Although I can't help thinking that the hallucinogenic properties would help with both the climb to the pyramid and also with the feel-good thing while you are up there.
