Dakar 2011

Some years ago the famous Dakar rally moved it's venue from Africa to South America. Also this year the rally started and finished in Buenos Aires. We found out that that the line up of participating vehicles was practically around the corner of our house. Everywhere in the city we saw rally cars and trucks driving around. The next day we went microcentro (downtown) to see the start of the race. Stasiu really liked it but Nina was a bit afraid of all the noise. It was very hot that day and after waving and cheering for two hours to all the bikes, the kids were done and we had to call it a day. A few weeks later, just after the finish, we noticed a Polish team Orlen truck parked in the street next to us.
