Busy...Busy...Busy -- No time to Write!

Wednesday came and went quite quickly. Goodness, what a full day it was. The weather was mostly sunny. We arrived at school, had our coffee, and caught up with students. Shortly afterward, the local press -- newspaper and online TV, called OP.se -- showed up for interviews. The links posted here are mostly in Svenska; however, the TV has some English in it. I also posted a bunch of pictures, of which most do not have any comments or titles yet, but bear with me. The gallery is a mix of everything just to catch you up. They say a picture is a 1000 words... well, I cannot find much time to keep writing, so enjoy the pictures!
Anyways, after the media event, we had time for fika (alá Nutrition time at school). Then a few instructors on the Rally Car project took their classes out to the BIG lake to race on the ice (and some slush). It was about an hour ride to get to this area, most of of it on a dirt-sand-slush road with ice -- sort of the back of 173 in Lake Arrowhead!
These carts are called Cross-Carts. It was a bit slushy, so getting a bath while driving like a maniac on a rally course was quite the exhilarating experience. Oh, this was BIG fun. Yes, even the instructors, Dave and I drove.
After the long ride back to the school, we all went back with our families to have dinner. Later in the evening, the adults returned to school to watch a presentation on a state of the art Rack, Re-aligninment system, and Paint Room in the new Body Shop area of the VTC school. Although the presentation was in Svenska, I learned enough to ask intelligent questions about the system and how it was being implemented in the school.
Finally... and I mean finally, I made it to bed around 11pm and passed out hard. No ipod, no music, no coffee... just *OUT*
