Children came to see what all the strange
people were doing in the abandoned quarry near their homes where we
stopped to work.
Reuben & Adriana
scouting for new outcrops of the K/T boundary southeast of Madrazo,
Mexico.
During our reconnaissance, we drove
through a couple of cane fields that had been set fire. The sound
was akin to making popcorn.
Günther, always full of energy and
endlessly curious takes a closer look at the field hand managing the
fire.
Interestingly, a corn cob saturated with
what's presumably kerosene serves as the ignition source for the torch.
We didn't see any fire fighting gear anywhere.
Later that day, we went to dinner.
There was a large cenote (a sinkhole filled with water) alongside the restaurant
that some team members swam in.
