Turns out that the flying conditions at Santa Brigida yesterday were really good. Big, smooth thermals and lots of sky to play with. It didn’t rain until the early evening. A phone call to Marc confirmed that people were already flying at Santa Brigida this morning. I had to take my parents to the airport at mid-day, so instead of Geoff going off on his own and my meeting him there, we went all together in one car.

The sky towards the mountains wasn’t stunning and when we got to Amer, we could see all the pilots sitting in the bar, rather than on the hill. We drove to the landing anyway, but it started spitting soon after. Since the forecast was for deteriorating conditions, we headed home, into some serious rain.

We spent a lovely evening at Debi’s, who cooked us her signature dish of rabbit and meatballs. Delicious.
