MADE it to GUANAJUATO MEXICO

Welllll....I made down to Guanajuato and Leon Mexico safely. My balloon team and I left Austin Texas on Monday morning and arrived to Guanajuato last night. Tomorrow we´re going to prepare our McDonald´s hot air balloon for the four day festival in Leon, Mexico. Leon is located in central Mexico up in the mountains. We´re about 7000 -8000 feet above sea level.

Ill try to keep everyone updated. Unfortunately I wont be able to post any pictures til I get home.
