   A bunch of us got in a day of flying at Piedechinche, before most catch flights home tonight or tomorrow morning.

   Storms started building after about an hour, so those of us still in the air headed in. The lift was so strong and consistent that I had to do what's called "going on bar" to push forward away from the mountains and lose altitude to get to the landing zone.

   I just barely got the glider packed up as the rain started. One of us landed in the pouring rain, unfortunately.

   First pic is someone launching. Zoom in to the sky to see all the gliders in the air. Second pic is the little burger and beer place across the street from the landing zone, everyone taking cover from the storm.
