Trip to the Polo

I went to a Polo match on Sunday. With perfect weather and a lovely trip outside the city it was just what I needed. Everyone was so effortlessly elegant and typically Argentine by knowing everyone and kissing joking with everyone in the crowd. I love that here they don't seems to have age groups, everyone is friends with everyone and its not the young'uns keeping themselves separate and the older people being more sensible or quieter. Everyone is a friend and everyone is a joy to see.
We got talking to some people after the polo and had a glass of wine while discussing the ins and outs of Polo. Being Argentine they invited us to visit their stables and farm one weekend and have a go at Polo. I am looking forward more to the swimming pool and fields but I will definitely give Polo a go (I am not sure if I should warn them that I am the clumsiest person on the planet first. I don't want to break a horses legs with an over-enthusiastic swing of the stick!)
All in all it was a typical Argentine day- sun, Polo, ice-cream, wine, talking to randomers, making friends with randomers, meeting randomers friends and family, invitation given by randomers. Love love love this country.
