Woke up and it was still dark. I got dressed, finished packing and started to take bags to the beach. A got all loaded into the boat and said our final good byes. Got to Boca and it was a mad house. Finally got all loaded and on our way to the airport. At the airport everything went smoothly and we only paid $60 for 12 bags. We flew to Denver and went through customs incredibly fast. John got the car and e went to olive garden for dinner. After dinner we went to the hunger games then went home.
Got up and did a flight with John. Met up with Cesar and Cynthia and hiked up to launch and John flew Cesar.I stayed on launch until John, Cesar and Siead got to launch. John flew Cynthia and I went after him I was still in the air when John flew Auras and landed because he was hungry. My flight was 1 1/2 when it was done. It was a pretty nice last flight. We packed and went to Luis's house for dinner.
Today I slept in until 12 but since we just jumped forward it felt more like 11. I went over to the hotel lagunita with Anson for lunch with mom and John landed there after his 3rd flight. After lunch John and I walked up the mountain for a flight. John launched but the wind was too strong for me to fly so I sat on launch for 3 hours before I had to walk down to get ready for dinner. We went to Eric's house for dinner where we had hotdog tacos as an appetizer and amazing enchiladas with green salsa for dinner. After we left I went to the passion flower gardens for poker I lost 200 pesos because I had 2 full houses and they had a better one.
Woke up and got a 10 minute flight. Then I went back up and got a great 40 minute flight. After I landed I got ready to go to poker at Shambala. We went at 5:30 and nobody was there so I went home to grab snacks when I got back we had enough people to start chipping people in and getting ready. We played until we met Alfonzo and his family at their house. We ate at Pollo Bollo and after we went back to poker. I ended up with 20 pesos more than I started with.
Woke up and went up the mountain to fly. John went and said that it was to active for me to go so I sat on launch for a couple hours John went to birthday mass for Alfonzo's grandson Alfonzo. After he got out I had almost launched but he wanted me to wait until he got to the beach so I let Alan who had gotten up top without passenger ahead of me to test the air. After him I went and had a 30 minute soaring flight. I only came down because Alan was buzzing me when I had no room to get out of his way. After my flight I got ready for the party. It was really awesome, we sat down and watched the kids do 3 pinatas and a ball box. Were served tacos, salsa, salad and cake. It was pretty crazy.
Day started with cleaning and reading.
Went up for a flight. It was trashy so I asked Griffin not to fly.
Alison and I went to church for the birthday mass.
After mass Griffin was still waiting on launch. He ended up with a 30 minute flight a 1/2 hour later.
We watched them set up for the party. The party was for Alfonso grandson Alfonso. He turned 3.
The party was amazing. 200 people on the beach.the girls served everything.1st round device, 2nd round ensalada tostadas, 4rd round ice cream, 5th cake, 6th pastor tacos from tacos y mas.
Oh and candy.
Off to bed
Went out in the kayak with John for his yelapa then and now shot but he thinks that it needs to be in late afternoon. We went and flew and I got a 35 minute flight and got to 1205 ft over the ocean. After I landed John and I kitted for awhile but John went into the lagoon electronics and all so I helped him get his stuff in rice and get his wing dry. Once we were done we went to Shambala for dinner. After dinner I took Alfonzo's son for ice cream.
Woke up and got ready for yoga with mom. She wanted it filmed so we took Johns contour and the Handy Cam and filmed the teacher. After yoga I hung out on the beach with mom while John did another flight with Dan. They both came and landed at the hotel Lagunita and ate lunch with us. After we ate we went home and I grabbed my wing and hiked up the mountain. I got a 15 minute flight, reached 1380 ft and got to the lighthouse hill before I landed. Went back up and got a 43 minute flight and got to 1370 ft but this time I stayed over launch. Hiked up again with Dan's Gradient Delite and got a 30 minute flight. After I landed we packed up Dan's wing for travel and went to dinner and brought his wing to where he was eating. We ate at Ramona's.
Today got up and went up to the Sasha and Sofia's room. They invited me to go horse back riding. An hour later I was on a horse on my way to the water fall with them. the horses got off track sometimes but we finally got there and I was sneezing uncontrollably. So then we went for a swim and I wish I had never rode on the horses because I could not stop sneezing. On the way back had trouble breathing. When I got back I relaxed till we went to dinner at tacos Yolanda with David.
Yoga with Griffin and Gabriella in the am. Anson has printmaking. Tacos Y Mas. Eurkre with Josh and Kristie. Reading Reading Reading!
Got up and started the hike to launch after laying on the beach for awhile. Expected.to do 2-3 flight but on my first one I got to 1370 ft and it was 40 minutes long. My landing approach was perfect and my touchdown was perfect but when I killed the wing I didn't kill it all the way so on the way down it flipped over and went into the water. Luckily there were 5 people watching me land that were willing to help me pull it out of the water. After I finished drying my wing we went to tacos Yolanda for dinner with David and it was amazing.
I read all day until we went to Brisas for dinner. I finished Dune Messiah and continued the Hobbit from where I left off.
Great day chillaxing on the beach reading! Did a little work on the lending library. The units are pretty full so that is tough going. Hung out with Sonja and Anson hung with the girls. Went to Shambhala for dinner with John and Griffin. Put up mosquito nets for the girls, Griffin got a key for Brisas from Rosie. We chatted with Alfonso and Birita after dinner. Sied and Griffin went for Ice Cream. Anson worked at Shambhala. Lots of Garcis rentals there tonight. Watched some TV with the boys played a bunch on Gin (I spanked them) Off to bed. Adios Amigos!!!
Today I got up and sat in bed because I didnt want to get up I crawled out of bed at eleven and got ready to go to a print work shop. When I got there to see if I could do the class and she said no because they were full I asked her name and her name was ANSON!!!!!!!!! she said it was a family and they have used it since they could remember. They came from England and we are part Irish if I am correct so we my be related. After that I went home and swam with Sofie, Sasha and sat on the beach for a while. Then I went to la Pelona and swam with the girls there to. After we got back we sat around and played soccer till we went to dinner.
Went to Shambala for Birria stew then went up the hill. Got a sled ride then went back up the hill again and got an amazing 50 minute flight. I got to 1350 ft over the ocean and almost got to the lighthouse hill but didn't quite make it so I had to go and land. On my landing I ended up to far back and part of my wing got wet. Spent the rest of the day trying to dry my wing in high wind, it wasn't very much fun. After mom and John got home we got ready and went to the passion flower for Asian night and poker. I started poker with 100 pesos and left the table with 615 pesos. It was a pretty good night.
Woke up and went to the Garcia house for breakfast. It was all of the tortillas that were leftover from the party the night before. They sliced them up and fried them to almost make Frito's then put them in salsa. After breakfast John and I went home and got our wings to fly. John launched and got a 22 minute flight but when I tried to launch my wing caught on the front left streamer and I crashed into the bushes. It took me Johns entire flight to get out but I launched as John landed and still got a 20 minute flight. When I landed John got to launch and I met up with Dan and we went up and both got 5 minute flights. We went up again and got another 5 minute flight. After flying we went to tacos Medina for dinner.
Laundry Drop with John (Maybe the last), Eclipse Cafe Pancake Breakfast! Hung out on the beach and met new neighbors from Portland Oregon Sonya, Sasha (10) and Sophia (12)- Anson toured the girls to the waterfall and played soccer on the beach. Sasha banged up her toe pretty bad on a rock she was a trooper. Went to Brisas for dinner with the girls. It was truly delicious as always! Grimm bed. Left hip was killing and I don't know why? Can't believe only 7 more dinners in Yelapa! Anson got into a printmaking class for Friday! Adios Amigos.
I got up and got ready to go on Luis's boat. We left and went straight to the Las Marietta's. Once we arrived near the islands we started trolling around. After we were out for awhile we finally went to the beach. We hung out on the beach then got back in the boat and drove around to another beach that we a swam to through a rock arch. We skull got back into the boat and went home. At home I sat around on the beach for awhile then went home and sat in the hammock until John landed. We hiked to Shambala where Sergio was cleaning out shit creek. We helped out until it was finished. We finished our hike and both got really good flights. Mine was 25 minutes and Johns was 13. We went to dinner Eric and family at Mangito's. After dinner we went to a birthday party at the Garcia house. On our way home there was a lady passed out do mom helped bring her to conciseness before we left.
Today we got up earlier than normal so we could film Las Marietta's with Daniel and Diego but it was canceled so they could do more units. John and I finished cleaning the beach then we flew. We sat on launch for a couple hours before it got launchable. We both got 15 minute flights then got ready for dinner with Luis and his family. They meet us at the top of the stairs and we walked to Mangito's. I had the pasta with chicken and it was delicious.
I didn't do much today until John and I went to fly. We went up around 1:00 and there were two pilots on launch. PV Chris and Alan with a passenger. PV Chris went first and had an extended sled ride. John went next and didn't have any longer of a flight. Alan and I waited for the cycles to improve while John hiked back up the hill. Alan and passenger were about to go when John got up top. Alan had me anchor his passenger since she was really light. After Alan went John laid out and got another long sledder but I launched seconds after him so we were in the air together. After flying we went and ate at a restaurant we've never been to before. It was pretty good.
Went and worked with Paco at the Rosewood gallery, helped make a 12 inch bowl. I was invited to help at tacos y mas so I went home and helped John on the beach before I got ready to go to work. I helped by cleaning tables and ordering and running drinks after I sat people. after we closed Paco, Elder and I went to the yacht club.
Woke up and the weather wasn't good enough to fly so I went up to the rosewood shop with John to see what Paco was up to. We got there at the same time so we helped him set up then John filmed him make some stuff then went and got a haircut while I polished some vases. After we closed shop we went and ate some fried chicken at his house. I went home and watched a little of the walking dead until John got home. I helped him make some limeade then continued watching after we helped Eric move the internet antenna. We went to Shambala for dinner. We came home to find a huge scorpion on moms bedside table.
Woke up and started hiking up Tapita. I got a 30 minute flight but I was getting pushed back so I went and landed. After I was packed up I went inside and read until we went and ate dinner at tacos Yolanda. When we finished we walked over to the passion flower gardens for poker night. I won 130 pesos and only Anson lost any money.
