Well here we are once again, in the fantastic Mexico. We travelled yesterday all day from 10am till after midnight and everyone lost their bags. We were assured they'd turn up today and they did.
We ventured out in Monterrey today casing a couple of musical instrument stores- no purchases made. Neilly and Claes played tennis from 11am till 5.45pm. Then at 6pm we all went to the football grounds for a 5 aside match. The teams were Dougie, Andy, Giles (soundman), Davide Westlake (drumpeter) and Neilly vs Me, Kenny (guitarioso) Nic (Andys guitar master) Andrea (our promoters rep) and Bruno (security)
Early goals by my team took us into the lead by the end of the first half but Dougies team soldiered on and scored some spectacular goals in the second half to leave the scores 6-4. The game ended with me rolling on the pitch in agony after a shin clash with Dougie.
We all went out and ate afterwards and now I am sitting in my room aching slightly and preparing to sleep. See you in Monterrey tomorrow...

I just read it! Aw man I'm glad they got their luggage back... that'd would suck if they didn't. Thankfully that's never happened to me.

Anyone have any airport horror stories?

Hahaha! I love how serious they all look. And ouch! Fran wasn't joking about his collision with Dougie. Check out his leg.

I love the fact that Dougie even has a striped football shirt! Something like this might have had better colours for him, though:

Fran does look a tad disgruntled. Bad loser? ;)

Yes, ugh...I got my suitcase back, but it took a few days and I was at an away swim meet and had to keep borrowing everyones stuff.

Love the picture. It is neat to see some of the "behind the scenes" people that make these amazing tours happen!
