Chimalhuacan: day one

started the day off on an interesting note. boarded the plane in richmond, and after we backed away from the jetway, they began what i assume was the preflight check. a couple of minutes into it, we hear "BAM! BAM! BAM!" from the left engine. then it happens again. a pause, and then the captain comes over the intercom and tells us that that should not have happened, and that they were going to check it out.

we return to the gate, and wait. long story short, whatever it was that caused the problem got fixed, and we pulled away from the gate at the time that we should have been arriving in Atlanta.

Fortunately, our departure time fom Atlanta was late enough (almost noon) to allow us to still catch the flight, even arriving an hour and a half later than intended.

the flight to Mexico, DF was uneventful. got to the airport and Sergio and Norberto were waiting for us there. no bags lost, everything in order.

pulled into the house around ... 4:30 or so, i guess. walked down to greet Romualda for just a couple of minutes. returned to the house and ate supper, then waited for the guys (Valentin, Gumaro, Lucio, Domingo, and Margarito) to arrive. they pulled in a little after 10:30.

slept like rocks. :-)
