NIM(BUS)

The morning was quiet, and even though my private nocturnal battle with mosquitoes was going fairly well, it was time to get up, and see the day.
A few drops, became a light sprinkle on the pool with ever more circles appearing, overlapping and widening. 
Eventually, a proper rain ensued, as we sipped fresh coffee thanks to Brian and Farmer, and sampled fresh cut papaya and pineapple and banana 'ala Dawn' while contemplating our options.
Two lovely horses grazed and wandered around the beautiful grounds, oblivious to the downpour. 
Ultimately, Eduardo showed up to give us all a lift to the launch where our glider bags were securely locked up by Gustavo, the owner of the takeoff and beautiful structure there. 
Matt opted to camp at launch for this night and we chose to pay Eduardo for a direct ride home. 45 minutes later, we were all chillin' back at our home digs. 
Not long after unpacking, the sky let loose a deluge that prompted us to order lunch "in house" rather than brave the wet to eat in town. Good call. It rained off and on all day and was wet the next morning as I packed to go. Fitting, restful end to some truly dreamy flying with some great friends, new and old. 
My last day as a scruffy American. 

I am so grateful to be here. Thanks Carmen!

Cheers,
Marty
