So, on Saturaday (10/31) I got a call from a friend asking if I was interested in going to see some Formula 1 racing. Abu Dhabi just finished buiding an amazing track and this past weekend have been hosting all kinds of festivities and concerts. The tickets we got for free ended up allowing us to see the qualifying race at the new track as well as take in a concert by the Kings of Leon. Aersmith and Beyonce also performed this weekend at the concert. It was pretty cool. I honestly had no idea how loud formula 1 cars were. There is no way I would have been able to sit through the race without ear plugs. The track is amazing as you can see from the pictures. It was built on a man made island and actually has spots to dock very very large yachts right on the track. We luckily got tickets for free, but the tickets for the event were selling for around $400. I ended up going with some friends who also teach in the elementary school. Heather is closest and Laura is behind.
