Indiana, USA- Indianapolis 500

Image
Every Memorial Day Weekend, there is The Biggest Spectacle in Motorsports-The Indy 500. Its more than just kissing bricks and drinking milk. (That's what the winner does). It's a little early to do the end zone dance as the race starts tomorrow. Here are some photos of races past: 2014 2012 2008 2009 2008 You win some, you lose some, you wreck some... Here a 2012 trip report: The 96th Indianapolis 500- the best way to convert money into noise---was fast paced with lots of lead changes and drivers dabbling in and out of the boundaries of disaster.

Rome Sweet Rome- Civitavecchia

Image
Civitavecchia is a coastal town northwest of Rome, in Italy. Built in the 2nd century, the Port of Civitavecchia still retains some of its original features, like the Roman Dock. The port is the quickest route to Rome, which we opted out this time due to a Cinderella liberty of 5pm. We instead headed out to Castello Orsini-Odescalchi, a castle in Bracciano, in the Province of Rome, Lazio, Italy. It is located on the southern shore of Lake Bracciano. It was built in the 15th century, and combines the functions of a military defence structure and a civilian residence
