I got a little discombobulated in the blogging; yesterday I somehow neglected to mention that we spent the evening in Allentown at the Art Museum taking in an Andy Warhol exhibit that included some of the darker works that sometimes get brushed over in the multi-colored commercial sensibilities of pop art. For dinner we went to a true, shiny metal and bright neon east coast diner. I had a rueben and Jenelle an open-faced sandwich. What a fantasticly good meal!
Today we finally made it up to the Lehigh Valley Velodrome for a professional, short-track, banked-corner cycling race. The velodrome is just over four miles from our current front door in Macungie, but due to other travels and bad weather this is the first race we've seen. It was a great night to watch some very, very good riders circle the 1/3 km track in a Madison - a race where teams of two riders trade off every few laps, something akin to short-track speed skating relays.
