The 32nd America's Cup
For the first time in history, the America's cup sailing races were held in Europe, because the defending challenger was Switzerland. The races were held in Valencia, Spain, and since David is such a boat lover, we could not let this opportunity pass us by. We took a weekend trip to Valencia and gave David an early birthday present of going out on the spectator boat to see the race close up. It was the experience of a lifetime, and there was something fun for each one of us to do!
This is the challenging boat from New Zealand

The Defender!!!
Alinghi from Switzerland!
They won again and we hope that the 33rd America's Cup will also be in Valencia in 2011.
