Last week Joe and I flew down to Ensenada as volunteers supporting education at 5 tribal villages. Today we’re returning home to Alta California… with a few additional border crossing logistics. Welcome aboard! Wayne, GeezerGeek Pilot

Nice. But to me, flying south of the border means flying into the US :D

Well, that was a mental workout, and I wasn't even flying! Between the (sometimes heavy) accents, non-standard phraseology, busy airspace, dealing with Customs, and talkative passenger, you must have been ready for a cerveza o dos after the flight. Great job, Wayne.

Steve and Charles, thanks for checking out the video! Ensenada has become quite a foodie destination, and yes, enjoyed a beer and some local wine with a few dinners.
All the best,
Wayne
