Photos from the YNOT Grand Prix, Barcelona 2012

Saturday, March 10th, 2012

The first event on The European Summit 2012 schedule was the YNOT Grand Prix. Sponsored by 2000Charge, this Go-Kart tour has been traveling the world, with a return visit to Barcelona. This location, Indoor Karting Barcelona, is one of the most challenging go-kart tracks in the world. I have to be honest, I would have rather been driving that photographing this event. The track looked like it would be a lot of fun to drive. (more…)

Double Decker Bus Tour of Barcelona

Arriving at 7:00 AM on Sunday, it was far too early to check in to the Hotel Barcelona Universal, so I dumped my bags off and headed over to the Hotel Miramar to see if there were any other early arrivals. No one was awake there either.

I took a few photos from around both hotels, and when the Universal allowed me to check in six hours early I jumped on it. When I awoke, I headed back to the Miramar, where the Online Dating Summit was wrapping up. There I met a few friends and we headed off to the El Born section of the city for some tapas and Spanish wine. (more…)
