Casa Phemilia Villa, Mexico

"Retired" from racing and ready to take a desk job in 2016, fate had other plans for me, partly inspired by this bizarre story, which got a lot of attention back then. Everyone mostly forgot about it, but I was quietly at work to finish the job. Whole story here, including Mt. Disappointment, which was a great climb definitely worth a visit.
