In the perspective of the boyfriend, this whole Europe trip has been leading up to our grandstand seats in the Monaco F1 Grand Prix qualifying race. The day finally came yesterday.
The highlight for me was being so close to Mark Webber's pit stop as well as seeing Richard Branson -my billionaire idol, wave at me. The French hot dog which I snacked on after the race was the best hot dog I've ever tasted... anyway, here are some pics.

That first photo is so amazing, are you going to Paris as well?
