Loved the Polo Match!

Arriving at the National Open Championship Tournament

Strolling around behind the scenes and the gorgeous back-up horses

The other team's extra horses.  The players change horses in a split second while riding.  It's fun to watch their skill.

All dressed up as polo is a social event as well.


Incredibly lovely grounds full of flowers and sculptures. It's hard to believe this is in the city.


Pancho time! Hot dogs are called panchos here.

Very keen on watching the action!


Well at least we got the ball in movement and a couple of the players in this shot.


We ran into some friends at the match!  Starting to feel like real locals.  This week we've run into several people we know at various locales.  Kids see their friends out walking w/their parents, on buses, and subways as well!

Novecento has a couple restaurants in Miami as well.
I love this walk.  The polo field is on the left and we pass it often as we walk to the park, racetrack to watch the horses in the paddock, Jumbo groceries, Palermo park and Geba gym.There are yellow blossoms making an aromatic carpet then there are the purple Jacaranda blossoms as well down the way.  All 2 blocks from our little place.
