January 19, 2015,. Nuevo Vallarta, Mex. Sky Divers.

First you see them cavorting around the sky, doing rolls and loops. Finally, the parachute opens and they descend quickly to the beach with a whoosh and a whistle. At first we can see nothing when we look up at the sky but finally we spot them and watch the descent along with the fancy gyrations. Two years ago we saw them for the first time. The landing spot was right next to the restaurant in front of our condo so we could not miss them. Gill was here so we chatted with some of the sky divers, who were all incredibly fit and agile. Why you would want to compete at a sport where you fly through the air without the parachute in order to perform tricks, only to open the parachute just in time to land safely I do not know. But they seem to love it. Now they are back again. Their landing spot is down the beach but we can watch them do their tricks and we can watch the parachute open but we miss the swoosh and the whistle. We can hear their plane but we can not see the sky divers jump from the plane. Eventually we spot them hurtle through the sky. It is very exciting. My Oncologist here told me I could do anything I was able to do, except no sky diving. "Not a chance", said I.
