Tandem wake up call

Strong westerlies this morning, temperatures rising, as all that dry air from Andalucia was moving in. But it is June, so our sun is so bloody hot it provokes almost certain that cooling seabreeze.
And it did, just needed patience. At 5 pm, who said that again and again, yes Hemingway, a las cinco de la tarde, Spain relives.
And lots of times, then the breeze hits the hills inland. Today again.

Flew tandems, nice tandems in smooth air. And I was just thinking about how casual it gets flying all the time. You don't think about the pleasure, about the specialness of flying, because it is a thing you do for a living, a job. That's why it is good to have visiting pilots with a drive, or having passengers who pinch your arm, and let you know this is fabulous, flying paragliders.
