Sky today, and bottom foto shows you how warm it was today, 25.9 degrees celsius. Fantastic, I still love it.
Lots of pilots ask me why did you choose Spain. Well climate has to do with it, but this becomes relative after a while. But when you are in december, flying and then having a drink on a terrace when it is 25 degrees, you feel you made the right choice, and part of this is the climate. It us just so damn nice to be in the sun all the time.
But lets talk about the flying today. Southwest, strong por la tarde, strong in the afternoon (which in spain starts at 3 pm !). So off to good old Toix.
And good we did.

At take off, ready to go, but hesitating, because I had the impression it could be better with some more wind. BUT there were 'jonathan livingston' seagulls in the air !
So Pedro, gaviotta of Calpe, told me to get going and start. You damn Pedro !
I soared all the way for about half hour, but had to fight to stay in the lifting band of air. Meanwhile surrounded by laughing seagulls, héhéhéhéhé´hé,,,,,

A flight with a view for all of us, foto's tell you what I mean. Top foto is for those who have been here before years ago. The can tell lots of building has been going on, all with proper swimming pools. Bottom foto for those who are under a blanket watching TV ...... turn head left .........
A good thing about a young democracy and/or a catholic country is that they have a lot to celebrate. Tomorrow again national FIESTA, tomorrow we party because it is the 'day of the constitution'. Vamenos !!
