Practice days ...
Its been warm, sunny, slightly windy and averagely bumpy here these days!

playing at the Peñon as the day ends ...

flying too close to the sun ;-)

Tomorrow see's things kick-off for real ... we are all waiting to see if the solar flare / gamma radiation storm will fry GPS's overnight & we have a maps / photos task for day! Maybe someone 'upstairs' is trying to tell us something ... ;-)
The opening ceremony extravaganza with the Totonac 'flying men' from Papantia Veracruz was an amazing spectacle in the light of the stting sun ... & they probably think we are crasy!! Who in his right mind would stand completely unsupported on top of a tree trunk 25m in the sky and play the pipes & drum?!

The slightly bonkers Totonac flying people!

the descent to earth ...
