And the Race is On....

Wow, did January fly by!!

As a parting gift of the uneventful month, we had the Monaco Old Fashioned Car Rally...better known as the Monte Carlo Rallye Historique.  It always amazes me at how accessible things are when an event is held here, you can just go right into the heart of it.  There are rarely crowds to keep you out of a good viewing position.  As with the Rally, we got right up next to the cars and even the starting point.  We even got right up close to Prince Albert who came out to see his car before it took off.  Yeah, that's right, rubin' elbows with the Royals.  Only in Monaco...

Here's a little video....


and some pics...
This was the Prince's entry to the race.
5...4...3...2...1...go!






The kids had a little race of their own.

I just love all the cool old cars and T really loved the race aspect of it all.  A future racer???  Living in Grand Prix town just may put the bug in him. :)
