I have been in Japan since Tuesday. It has been fun so far but it's raining today so it's likely the cars won't be on track here at Twin Ring Motegi. SO I thought I would write a bit.

Monday/Tuesday was long but I don't mind the trip so much - it nice to relax and enjoy time to myself.

Wednesday night I went to the Honda Welcome party were I took this video.

The IndyCar drivers got gifts from the town of Motegi. There was food and drink.

Thursday there was an earth quake here in Japan and it shook my hotel around 4 am. I was far enough away that it didn't do any damage where we were staying but it was enough to shake the building and make you think "What the..."

There was Practice with the Indy boys (and girl). I think Dixon was Fastest with Kanaan in 2nd and Wheldon 3rd. With Quals likely washed out today they will started tomorrow (well Friday night for you guys in Indiana) based on points.

I have been shopping a little, I love shopping here and the people are so nice. I hope we get the race in tomorrow so I can shop all cay on Sunday before heading home on Monday.
