Everyone is Arriving in Tenacingo

Dec 27-28, 2008

Departing the West Coast of BC on Dec 27th was perfect timing with the storms and nasty weather, but this posed a problem too, translating to delayed and canceled flights. Our flight to Mexico City had several delays, Christine & I arrived at 4am the morning of Dec 28th. My daughter’s flight was completely canceled and rescheduled for another day. Our Seattle guests Doug Marshburn, Scott and Robert's flight was on time but were late getting to Tenancingo after taking a taxi to Tulancingo (a city in another state)! Norman Lawler arriving the afternoon of the Dec 28 on time, Norman took the Caminante Bus service direct from Mexico City airport to Toluca for $11 US and then a taxi to Tenancingo for $30 US. This is the best way to come to Tenancingo if you do not bring a vehicle.

In the afternoon of Dec 28th, Norm, Doug and Scott decided to fly La Malinche. Norm had a big flight to 14,000, Doug got about 9,000 landing at casa del piloto field. Scott a new pilot twisted his lines in while in front of flight, threw his reserve as his wing inflated . We could hear Scott cursing as he was coming down for a soft landing. No damage, no sap, just a bruised ego.

That evening Doug flew La Malinche, soared and top landed.
