Gilroy Garlic Festival

The next day after standing around all day long at the SJGP, we went to the gilroy garlic festival with Danny, Angie, and Karen. Boy it was hot out there. We had to pay for admission, food was not cheap, in fact it was a bit pricey. But I did get my garlic fries, got a taste of garlic ice cream, got some expensive calamari, and my kettle corn. After that we got overheated, and decided to go back home. Mental note, Angie has a bladder the size of a thimble. Road trips with Angie involve alot of trips to the bathroom. Unfortuantely she wasn't the only person who needed to make a pit stop at a unconvenient location. The large drink I bought before I went back to the car did me in.

San Jose Grand Prix 2006

Danny and I went to the San Jose Grand Prix. Weather was nice. It wasn’t extremely hot. We got to see the champ cars running around and saw some of them in the pits. I think the most exciting thing was actually the drift demonstration. They were doing drifts, doughnuts, etc. all around the course. All the fans were cheering like mad. I’m probably going to the next D1 drift event next time it’s in the bay area. The champ cars were pretty loud, but the historic stock cars were way louder. Next time I’m bringing my earplugs. Well if I come next time that is, since the general ticket doesn’t let you sit at any stands, and it’s very difficult to see the cars due to the amount of signage on the fence at every corner. But we did make it for the Miss San Jose Grand Prix contest. Unfortunately I totally forgot my camera, so there were no pics. Ah well, next year!
