Journal Notes:
- Never realized how big Mexico was... gotta get out more.
- Flex over Mexico City and then their airport.
- Hazy mountain tops... and surprisingly high!  Over 13000' heading into MMVR.
- Great shot of Pico de Orizaba... 3rd highest mountain in North America at 18,400'.
- In RW, today is clear and -2C; Marg and I went to the Waste Depot then headed to Mahone Bay for a drive, boot shopping for Marg and lunch at the Mug and Anchor; chopped driveway ice while Marg went for groceries.
