Soggy day

Oh for adventures! Hah!

We went to the Red Bull Soapbox Car Derby in Philadelphia today with the Philly JVs in the middle of Hurricane Hanna. Needless to say, we got soaked, drenched, water-logged.

The first challenge of the day was driving there in the rain (I drove). The second was finding a place to park! We tried to park in an ACME parking lot, but got threatened with a ticket after getting out of the car. We were sopping wet by the time we got back in the car, about one minute later.

The Derby itself wasn’t that interesting – cars only passed about every 15 minutes and we weren’t in a place where we could see the big screens following them. The streets were mostly lined with young drunk people spilling out of their houses. It was boring, so we left and put our soggy clothes in the dryer and ate homemade bread instead.
