This Sunday I concluded that if I ever have a son, I hope he
never becomes a race car driver :/ Yup, this weekend was the
Australian Grand Prix Forumla 1 race. Melbourne is
serious about their sports, which I like. Compared to other parts of Australia, Melbourne is known for their "
footy" teams, swimming, cycling, and rowing. Cycling shops are literally everywhere, there is one next door to my condo, go figure.
It was a gorgeous day for the Grand Prix, warm with a comfortable breeze. Although I don't know
much anything about racing, or cars for that matter :/, I got pretty into it with a new
Red Bull racing hat and immediate crush for
Mark Webber.
The race opened with black hawk helicopters and a Quantas Airplane. It sounds lame, but the helicopters did some pretty impressive turns, which had me fearing for my life at one point.
Alex was hard core into the race and didn't move or sit down once! I definitely took a couple sit-down and bathroom breaks..it was hot and so unbelievably LOUD!
The F1 cars were so ridiculously fast I could barely take a photo! A top speed is around 315km an hour..yikes!
Despite a slight ringing in my ear and sunburn on my nose, I really enjoyed the race! It was fun to be a part of the crowd, scope out the race gear, and see something new...even if that something was F1 racing cars.
Tonight I'm baking organic gluten-free muesli bars with walnuts, coconut, and dried bananas! Yes, dried bananas! I can't wait to see how they turn out..delicious I suspect ;) I'll ensure to share them with you tomorrow!
Nighty night (and good morning to those in Canada),
You'll be able to find dried bananas everywhere in Bangkok - even 7 11. It's a thai treat, and they are so yummy, don't look good, but no preservatives :) That and fried bugs ;)
