A DAY IN HOLLAND

Our office family is changing in the next couple of weeks so we decided to have some fun together. We went Go-Karting in Delft, Holland. We had a great time! If you are in the neighborhood and want to try it out, here is the website: http://www.raceplanet.nl/index_karten.php?cat=Delft&id=274 That is Bob and I with Paul and John, getting ready for the race. The hairnets are to "protect" our hair when wearing the helmets that just about everyone in the world has already worn! We had about 12 minutes to go around the course and could go as many laps as you could during that time. I got bumped mored than a few times and one very hard but I was having so much fun that I didn't care. I really got into it as it was getting ready to end, I really wish we had had about 5 more minutes of it! Bob had a grea time as well - he was so much into it that his arms hurt for a few days. Maybe we will do it again!
The "girls" That is Feena (standing next to me), then Neeru (my boss) and her daughter Sasha. Sasha is only 14 so she couldn't participate in the fun but she was a good sport and watched us all make fools of ourselves. Needless to say, the three of us were the slowest in the group but we had lots of fun and that is what matters!!!

Then, we went to the beach and had a nice meal at a restaurant right next to the sand, where you could see the North Sea. The view was actually 100% better than the food but it was great to be out there by the water. It was not warm enough to get in the water (it was windy) but Neeru and Sasha did venture in and got their feet wet. Maybe next time...
