Sunday July 7, 2019
Lizzie was on the road at 6:45 to arrive in time at David's to first watch Moto GP followed by SuperBike. It takes a while for me to catch on to the 20 drivers of each race but my favourite, Marc Marquez, won the Moto GP, on the same weekend agin that his brother won the Moto GP2 (different sized bikes). This was Marquez's 10th win at this track in Germany, Sachsenring. My second favourite here, Devosioso, came in 5th.
My favourite, Bautista, came in 3rd in the SuperBike in England at Donington Park. My second favourite, Rea, an Englishman, won the race. So, overall, we had a good day.
The action was pretty steady, few crashes, and a few nice overtakes. Wolf brought in breakfast from the German restaurant and we were all happy campers. Sorry that the Lumix shots off the TV are substandard today.
I stopped at the cemetery to see if Carlos fixed the grave as promised and, of course, he didn't ....
I began preparations for a busy day tomoorow, 4 planned stops in the morning that need documentation and translations. More on that tomorrow.
Cris went into Tulua to meet Adiela to go visit Uncle Raimundo at his home this time.
We didn't do a very good job of cooling down today. It is after 5:30, it will be dark in a 1/2 hour, and it is 31.9 IN THE HOUSE... Yes, I am feeling warm..
I hope you enjoy the pictures. That was the day’s excitement.
