After an early start and on-time flights we arrived in Monterrey in the middle of the afternoon, Milton met us at the airport and drove us to our house at Homero's just outside the entrance to the Potrero Chico park. Gregg selected the matrimonial bed in one of the bedrooms and the rest of our group of seven selected sleeping quarters. We were pretty tired so we contracted Milton to cook us dinner while we cocktailed on tequila and squirt.

The morning dawned cool and sunny. We all felt good after the previous evening and we had a brekfast of fruit, oatmeal, yoghurt, etc., and headed out for climbing at about 9:30 or 10:00. We decided on Virgin Canyon and we were duly initiated.

After a great day of climbing, Julie, Tomcat and I headed back to Homero's at about 4 while the others ended the day with a few more routes. When we got back to our house, we discovered that we did not listen properly to house-locking instructions and we couldn't get in! We tracked down Homero and he also could not gain entry. Finally, after Homero tasked his assistant Roberto to9 get a hacksaw to cut through the bars on the windows, Tomcat noticed that there was an enticing chimney allowing possible entry to our casa. In broken English Homero agreed that this was a possibility and Tomcat was all over it, bounding to the roof and descending the chimney Santa-Claus style and easily opened the house!
