Lexus Live

So this past weekend was Christian's first big event in Luneburg, Germany. We set out for Germany on Thursday morning expecting a 6 hour drive. A 6 hour drive turned out to be around 9 hours due to construction; for a moment we thought we were in Detroit except for the beautiful scenery. We arrived in Luneburg at the race track and got right to work. Christian and Dennis decided to see if Christian was longer than a SmartCar...Pretty close, but I think the SmartCar wins Christian! After a long day of driving and setting up for the event, Christian, Dennis and I went out for a well deserved beer & chips.

Then Christian and Dennis shrank after drinking all of that German beer.

For the next two days, we attened the Lexus Live event held at the ADAC in Luneburg, Germany. Some of you don't know what Christian does, well here is part of what Christian does. This is one of the events that Christian has been putting hours and hours of work into.

The pictures below are pictures inside this huge structure that the crew built. (I was able to get pictures before all the guests came in.)

These are the pictures of the drive courses outside.

After two days of hard work, yes I got involved and worked at the event all weekend, we set out for home in Brussels. We did come across this cute little town in Germany...The event for Christian and his team at AMCI was a huge success. Let's hope the next event next weekend in Hockenheim goes just all well. Christian you have put hours of hard work and dedication into this event and I'm very proud of you!

Love, Meghin

Oven

People, here is my oven...

Still can't figure the darn thing out!

Christian jumped out of his seat when he saw these not realizing they were cookies...he thought it was more like road kill.

C & M

Random Sausage

Found in Bruges, flavor unknown, possibly a sun-dried tomato and pepper variety. Not German, possibly Turkish.

After Work Snack

Christian works very hard every day at work, 16+ hour days. When he gets home at night sometime between 6-7pm, he is always really hungry. So what would a housewife living in Belgium do...you got it, make him his Belgium after work snack. The only normal thing to make him here in Belgium since they are crazy about thier salami, cheese and tomatoes are:

Salami & Cheese Plate

or

Tomatoes, Mozzerella & Basil

Here sure does love when he comes home and there is a plate sitting out for him.

Love, Meghin

That's right boys, and she serves it in little shorts and a belly shirt. There is a God...

Cheers, Christian

Another Visitor

This past weekend was filled with fun and laughter. Dennis' wife, Helen, was in town visiting him for the weekend. So Saturday night, we headed out with both of them to the Grand Place for some drinks and dinner. While at the Place having a beer, we saw some really weird events taking place. There were three seperate bachlorette parties going on; the first one had the girl dressed up in a maid's uniform, taking people's orders and then dusting them with a feather. It was very strange; I couldn't get my camera out fast enought to take the picture; Sorry! The second one looked to a goth bachlorette party - way too scary to even look at or take a picture of. We are just going to leave that one alone! :) The third party that walked through was also strange in it's own way. They had a piggy bank, like the ones pictured below that they were collecting money in for her wedding dress. Why in the heck don't we think of these things in the states.

After our drinks in the Place, Eva met up with us and took us to one of her favorite restaurants, Tasso. We sat down to dinner for the next 4 hours and enjoyed some sucking pig (no joke), vegetable pie and ray fish. It was an excellent meal with excellent company.

Thanks to Eva for picking our a wonderful place for dinner and thanks to Helen for coming to visit and spending sometime with us. We will see you soon.
