Go Karts!

This week, the fellas were feeling the need...the need for speed! Unfortunately, everything is covered with a foot or two of snow right now, so we had to be a little creative. Did you know that they have several indoor go kart tracks here in Belgium? We headed over to Lommel with some friends to check one out.Unfortunately, it's really hard to take pictures inside this building. In order to make it light enough to see, the guys are all little go kart blurs on the track. You can get the idea, though. It was a blast! There was a big group of riders finishing up when we got there, and then we had the track to ourselves for over an hour before more people showed up. Apparently going during the middle of the week is the way to go! Each rider is assigned a car, and each car has an electronic device in it that keeps track of your lap times. When you are done with the race, you get a print out of your lap times. It's very cool. There was a nice place for us ladies to hang out in upstairs. We weren't really feeling the need for speed. We were feeling the need to chill, and this was right up our alley. Like every place in Belgium, there's beer available. And coffee. It's a great place to hang out after your race and swap stories.

Don't you love this? Just in case you were missing a little bit of home, you can order a Miller Lite. After all, it's made the American way!
