Last weekend was great as Motu arrived in Cincinnati to watch the ATP Master's Finals and to spend some time with us.I think we met after more than a year so it was great to catch up on old times and our golden days at BIT Sindri.The memories of those days never ceases to amaze me.On Friday late evening we drove to Dayton airport to pick up Rajan.Dayton is about 60 miles from Cincinnati.The drive was easy and we reached on time.Dayton airport despite being international is pretty small sized compared to CVG and other US airports I have seen. We waited awhile as we got there a bit early.There were lots of cute little kids running about the waiting lounge with their favourite toys.
On Saturday after a hearty lunch at the Bombay High restaurant we headed to the Cincinnati Museum and Arts center.We spent time at the Natural History museum and then went to watch the documentary "Beavers" at the Omnimax theatre.As expected it was an awesome experience.Beavers are industrious creatures who build dams as their home.Naure is astounding whichever way you look at it.In the evening we went to the Newport on the Levee.Its a nice center overlooking the Ohio river with fine restaurants,shops and an impressive aquarium.On weekends there is live music in the large courtyard and you can boat on the river or walk the purple bridge.Its a very pretty area.
Sunday was the ATP Masters final and from our experience of last year,we wisely reached the venue more than an hour ahead.The crowd was already milling in and we spent time wandering about the shops and the display of Mercedes cars as Merc is one of the tournament sponsors.
The final was between Andy Roddick and Carlos Ferrero from Spain.There were quite a few spanish supporters in the crowd some sporting the beautiful Spanish flag.The match was a one sided affair with Andy blasting aces upon aces to win 6-4,6-3.Andy is a gracious sportsman and he acknowledged the crowd and his opponent in his victory speech.

It was a tiring weekend,and since Rajan's return flight was on Monday morning at 630AM,we had to get up really early.But all in all it was a fun weekend and the only dampener was it was over so soon!.
