Hi you all,

I see Kath wrote it all down for you, great. Well an afternoon break, because cloudbase is low. The group existing of 6 pilots and me, welcome this day off. Early night yesterday, after 5 days of flying. Some epic flights, some flights lesser spectacular. But the views, the fun does the rest.
Ann needed to read a book, to relax from the overflow of impressions last days, Stevie did it his way, he bought his brandy, Toni keeps on smiling all the time and wished he retired earlier, Peter is a traveler and tells us his adventures, Hendrie the big boy is playing it tough and takes naps whenever he can, Ogi plays with his toys, his electronical devices, I am on the outlook, look-out (which one is it ??), as always.
We are in Balaguer, bit of a big village at the feet of the Pyrenees. Can't understand a word, as all is in Catalan. Year after year it is more and more difficult to speak spanish up here. Even now down here in the library where I write this, the receptionist refused to speak Spanish. Even after I said I didn't understand Catalan, and only spoke Spanish (Castellano)... .
Oh well, they surely must have their reasons. But it feels a bit unwelcoming though.
It is very warm again today, so we'll have to look for a 'nature' swimming pool in the lakes, rivers or near waterfalls. Flying will be for tomorrow most probably at Ager.
Man, you have to join us next year, some amazing hills we flew on already, and there will be more tomorrow.

See you all soon I hope,
Nick
