Sunday. 01.23.11 Hipodromo con los Tios!

Today we went to the racetrack with our Tios. This was the first time either of us had been to the tracks. As far as gambling goes, I liked it better than feeding a slot machine all my money. It was fun, we were there for over four hours, and felt like we got the idea. But still gambling’s not really our thing. It was neat to check it out and see Tio in his element, but it’s not really the kind of thing we’d seek out again too soon anyway.
We were pretty much making our bets on which horses we liked better. Tio seemed to have a science down to his bets. He was averaging out their stats and making all kinds of calculations. But at the end of the night, none of us came up with a winning bet. But all was well, we still had fun anyway.
Once we got back home to our part of the city, we went to Iztapalapa centro to get something to eat. Tios had a particular restaurant in mind to take us to, but it was closed. So we went instead to the restaurant next door and had pozole and flautas.

Hipodromo with Tios! 

 Studying to make our bets.

 Thinking of home... this one's for you Alberto!
