It has been a nice relaxing day - no bus, no subway, no museums just a nice day at the races followed by dinner at our favourite Palermo restaurant, La Josephina. 3 nights out of six! Got to the track at about 3.45 pm, Pablo picked us up and Maria Julia met us there. The first race was at 2pm and the last at 9.30 pm so a big day, with only about 16 minutes between races. We stayed until about 7.30, had already said our goodbyes to P & MJ as they had another function on tonight. I finally had a win, spent 10 pesos to win 26 pesos (about $2.36 Aus) but otherwise a non profitable day. The races here are so unlike those at home - predominately men, certainly no Flemington on an ordinary day even. The few women were casually dressed, eg pants, jeans and something I have noticed here is the girls are all wearing high platform shoes. Not sure if they are ahead or behind the fashion trend!
Was tempted to order a steak at La Josephina but I decided on a delicious mushroom risotto and definitely made the right choice. G had a rump steak which could have served at least 2 people but not much left on the plate I noticed.
Now to get everything back into the suitcases and be told how much excess we have to pay tomorrow on our flight to Santiago, Chile!
