Last time I had free tequila in Mexico it was after underground cave exploration via https://chaaktun.com.mx/

I had one of my students ask, today, if she could look-up photos of hibiscus flowers . . . the timing was not right, and I declined to accept.
May I share this photo with her next week?
I'm working-through an analysis of the basic understanding of the Scientific Method with my special-needs HS kiddos.
Tangential to this idea, I am touching upon epidemiology, communicability, cellular-division, methodology, protocol, respiration, expected-vs-assumed, et al.
I tasked each of my kiddos with the selection of four 'surfaces' of their choice; each of which they swabbed--and inoculated--onto the respective quadrants of their own, personal petris.
Originally, I tasked us to daily-monitor the development of each for two weeks.
What I've found, is that--in totality--these petris have become extremely redolent; "whiffy", if you will.
I shared that we need to modify our experimentation-expectations, and probably shorten the duration of our studies.
I am awaiting the delivery of a 4K live camera (with which we can view each sample on the 77" Prometheus Board in our Classroom) before I call-quits to the Growth Stage, and move into the Death Stage (the next step is to sample different 'sanitizers', so we can then determine the efficacy of what-kills-what).
The extent of our carrying-capacity is such that we can only handle a degree of "yuck!" before the enthusiasm starts to wane.
I've found that the Classroom is all-well-and-well, until it smells like butt
Way cool image, love the composition, the dual lines drew me in and caused my eye to further explore
Arehucas rum distillery, Arucas, Gran Canaria
After the tour there is a chance to sample their range of rums, a number of different flavours and ages.
Warning, not advisable to visit on an empty stomach, hic 🥳
The beach shots I've posted the last two days were taken just beyond this small cemetery in Captiva, FL on Captiva Island. It's an interesting spot. I'll post a few more shots I took there in the coming days.
