we explored thunder hole and ate at the chart house before driving back to boston today. i was talking with chan and we both came to the conclusion a minimum of 3 nights must be spent when taking a trip, because although we spent 2 nights, we only had 1 full day in maine. amelie and bailey found a place in wilmington where you could race go karts. i didn’t even know it was there and i drive past it almost everyday to work. we raced go karts and it was fun. the first race, i didn’t go fast because every time i accelerated, the seat vibrated my gooch lmao. it felt mad uncomfortable, but during the second race i said fuck it ima go balls to the wall. as the race went on, i was in 2nd place, but i kept passing the guy they said was in front of me. turns out it’s not who completes the most laps, it’s who has the fastest lap. i ended up finishing in 4th, which wasn’t too shabby for a grandpa driver like myself. we spent the whole way home talking about the races and how we kept getting bumped by strangers.
not a bad way to end chan’s last night up north.
