1."MITRE BOYS ON TOUR" - MIJA MISSION PATPOSSIBLE - PART 1


Out of the early morning mist a strange but familiar figure emerged from his lair and gestured towards the waiting taxi.  As the figure moved towards the vehicle it became apparent that the slow moving entity was Mitre legend Paul Mac, otherwise known as Mac. His small piece of luggage was soon placed in the vehicle and he greeted the Horse and Horsess who were already aboard the chariot.

 No sooner than becoming sleepy and comfortable in their seats, the Mitorian band of brothers were landing at Madrid, and after a small delay were disembarking for the connecting flight to Malaga and onward transportation to the fabled imbibing settlement at Cala Mija.

As he sucked his belly in and puffed out his rosy cheeks, his supercharged legs began to propel his body  at tremendous speed to the astonishment of all assembled. Crowds soon gathered to line his swift progress along the aisle, passing the numbered gates until portal 73 was reached without a single bead of perspiration leaking from his Olympian body.
