evening

Had my allotment of hot New Mexican chili for the first time in a year plus...

Yay!  I miss that when I'm in Portugal.

Good morning

morning

You cannot say that the Italians and the Aprillia MotoGP team does not know how to celebrate a Moto GP victory. Marco;s phone call with his mother is pretty cute.

Enjoy

Here is a great video covering the Portuguese Moto GP that occured last weekend. See MotoGP bikes flying through the air at this Portimao roller coaster type track. Great cornering shots as well.

I figure this feeling will continue for many years to come.

Just got to get used to it I guess

I feel this every day. Even when "home" in Aus....  "familiar and foreign at the same time" yup.

How's being back in the US feel?  You got that "foreigner everywhere" feeling going on yet?

Airline said 12.5 hours. My wife swears we did it in 12. At one point, it felt like 11tyB.

Ok, I just wanted to use 11tyB... honestly it felt like 13 to me.

11ty billion is a nice round number.
