The Cyprus Rally is a three day car race through the mountains. Day two
began in our village, Salamiou. About 35 cars participated and the
race will determine the winner of the Intercontinental Rally Challenge since it is the
final race of the series. There was a staggered start time since these
aren't really roads that could handle a bottleneck. They travel on some
pretty curvy roads and let's just say that Cyprus doesn't always see the
benefit of guardrails. We watched from the start line. Once they take
off you lose sight of them pretty quickly. Alex had a great time, but
Sofia hated the noise and she and I ended up watching from further away.
The weather was perfect today. Hard to believe this is November when we
are wearing shorts and t-shirts.
