As we were getting ready to leave Curuzu Cuati'a (funny, this is a Guarani name meaning Paper Cross...in the middle of Argentina.) we looked outside to see an amazing cloud formation. It started getting bigger and bigger and more interesting. A storm was coming fast! We were on the third floor. (The night before Oscar, Edson and I got stuck in a 1960 elevator with about 110ºF, cause we didn't want to walk up 3 flights of stairs. From then on, we we took the stairs.)I started taking pictures of the incoming storm since it was coming at us so fast. Then all the electricity went out! (good thing we weren't on that elevator). We ate breakfast while it stormed and poured outside. Finally, it let up enough to pack up our stuff and continue our journey. Our friend texted us with a warning of a huge storm that was making a huge mess 50 km. away from us! In the next city over there were uprooted trees and broken branches everywhere.
Thankfully, after a good rain, things cool off (for a couple of hours, at least.)

Those clouds are amazing and menacing at the same time! What great pictures!
wow...it's almost like watching the Red Sea part above you. Incredible photos, Karen!
What pictures!!
We're studying weather/clouds in 4th grade science class right now, and I'm going to try to print these pix out for them to see. I love it. Glad you weren't hurt in all the stormy stuff.
You want cool? Come on up to Ohio.
Wow...that is just amazing!!
Thanks for all your pictures and blogging about your trip to Argentina. It was almost like being there with you!
Love you,

Those storm pictures are FANTASTIC! You should enter them in a contest! Regarding your other Argentina pictures...are you trying to make A. Kath homesick?
(We're enjoying our 23.75 inches of snow..especially since no 2 snowflakes are alike!
Wow, love the clouds and the storm!
