FESTO HOT AIR BALLOON TOUR - MEXICO 2006

Getting ready for Mexico again !! Should be a GRRRRRRRRREAT trip !! Im going down there with the above hot air balloons and my cousin Miriam. It will be the first time my cousin and I will have one on one time together without having other family members around. Miriam is 3 years younger then I am...we've known each and have been around each other for our entire lives. But due to her living in Holland and me living in Canada and now in the US....its been hard to carry on a normal family relationship with any of my relatives in Europe. Sooo this will be a trip for the history books.
Our FESTO balloon team is set to tour 5 Mexican cities over a 2 and a half week schedule. Mexico City, Monterrey, Chihuahua, Xochitla and Leon . When I get back plan on having 1000's of awesome hot air balloon and Mexican landscape pictures sent your way.
Til then.....be safe, take care and have a grrrrrrrrrrreat April fools day !!! LOL
