So we watched the Indy 500 parade and mostly wondered who these people were (clearly we are not avid race goers) We did manage to spot our two (future) neighbours and also some celebs. Well does Jim Nabors (Gomer Pye qualify?)
Next day - race day I'd planned to play golf as it happened our course was in direct beeline with 30,000 other race enthusiasts. After a few detours we played golf with the sounds of sirens of police...and the watchful eye of the 30,000 in the traffic jam (with nothing else to better to do)
So let's go to our favorite Vietnamese cafe I say....to which we (again) encounter the race crowd who have decided that the free park and walk strategy is the best one. We struggle to find a car spot and end up triple parking. Once safely inside the cafe of course the TV has the race preludes on 'live'.
Can't beat em' - I think next year I will join the throngs and watch the winner drink the bottle of milk (yes it is Sunday and even Costco won't sell you a bottle of wine)
