> [@Adictd2b00st](#): > > good stuff Paulo, can’t wait to see the rest i know you took a TON Just the stuff I have on my comp now, totals 997 pictures. I’m not sure how many are left on Dans comp, but I think it’s over 300 lol. FUCK that’s alot of pics to go through. Alot are just bogus pictures from panning, but still, it takes a shitload of time to go through and delete what I can’t use. I’m not entirely happy with that batch, could have been sharper(the close up stuff was with a f1.8 lens that I have to manually focus, so those are usually softer), but I know I have a bunch of really clear panning shots from race day, and some other stuff to go through. ---

I was kidding. I expected the wine tasting / tour to be meh / cool… it turned out to be ALOT of fun. Definatly a great way to expand horizons a bit. The wife just loved the whole experience too. That country is friggin beautiful. Didn’t hit the gokarts, or any local attractions… didn’t spend a whole lot of time in any given town over the weekend. We stayed in Geneva, but only hit up a couple of restaurants. We never really stopped in Watkins Glen on the way. ---

Yeah, there are lots of OTHER great things to do down in the area. I would’ve liked to had I not been busy with the 350z team.
