BOM Tour Day 1

We are in Mexico City! I am trying to blog with Alan's iPad and it isn't working the way my computer does. Hope I can figure out how to download the pictures. Anyway, we left early from John Wayne. Lucky for Alan Lindsay's dad is head of Delta. He accidentally packed his little everything knife in his carry-on. He just sent it to John's office to hold for him. We met up with the rest of the group going on the tour on the connecting flight in Houston. From the time we landed we had twenty minutes to get off the plane and make it to a far terminal before the flight took off. We booked it almost running. With the gate in sight, they started calling our names over the whole airport loudspeaker. As we fell into our seats, just about the first thing I noticed was Michael Wilcox sitting three rows back with his daughter. He wasn't supposed to come since his wife was receiving treatment for a recently discovered brain tumor. Apparently, the treatment was not affecting her too badly and she urged them to come without her. We were thrilled! He was half the reason i wanted to come. We arrived in Mexico City and are staying at a nice hotel and getting to know many nice people (mostly older like us.) I have some good pictures I would like to include, but can't figure out how. I don't know if it an iPad problem, Mac problem, or a stupid user problem. The pictures are on the iPad okay, but blogger doesn't give me the option to browse for a file. Any of you Mac experts know what I might be doing wrong. Reply on the home email. Connecting to wi-fi is also a challenge. I am having to post this a day late because of it.
