The Opening Day at Del Mar Racetracks was AMAZING. You felt like you had been transported back to the 1920´s. 47,000 people came there from all over. We saw multiple limousines on the way there and I got to tell ya, there was some serious botox in da house.
The hats were crazy and I don´t even know how some people kept their head straight! Brittany, one of the night nurses at the clinic, made her own hat from a old one she had and my god it was pretty. Monique wore a turquaise hat and borrowed me a white one from her roommate :)
It was fun to see these pretty horses and OMG the jocks were so tiny that I was a lot taller then them. We got our picture taken with one of them and I swear he was like 120 cm.
Someone proposed via airplane, hope she noticed and said yes ;)
Some people had some serious betting going on!
I decided to be a MAJOR tourist and get a pic with me and all the seriously armed policemen, LAPD and some crazy hat lady.
After the horse races I met B&M up along with two other couples that they know and ate at the harbour. Here is a pic of the tres amigos.
Then after dinner we saw a steel band play a few songs. It was nice, but constantly reminded me of a steelband sound in a cow haha (only vet people get this joke). This was the view, not bad!
Today was a kind of quiet day at the clinic, but I got to observe an orthopedic surgery which was exciting. When I came home I fell a sleep while sunbathing in the pool. Gosh I could get used to this life! Then Bob asked me if I wanted to go for a run and we ran 4 km around the neighbourhood. After dinner we watched a great movie about Temple Grandin, which is a really famous autistic woman who could read cattle in a way that other people couldn´t and helped design a lot of slaughterhouses. Definately a must see movie with Claire Danes.
Tomorrow I am going to a baseball game with B&M and one of their friends that had extra tickets. Will be my first game so it will be fun. I´ve heard that it is a slow sport but I will just enjoy the atmosphere.
