2 April 2017 Spring Hike in Monterrey

I learned today that planes wait 30 minutes after the last visible lightning before they are released for taking off. That knowledge really makes each succeeding bolt of lightning very unwelcome.

I wondered if I would see a point in my life where planes no longer required the no smoking sign. It has finally happened with No Smoking being replaced with Turn Off Electronic Devices.

We were over two hours late to arrive after the weather delays, but the views from the trail were worth the wait.

The trail was lined with spring blossoms.

We reached an old estate and stopped to explore before heading back.

As the shadows lengthened, it was time to turn around.
