So given my lack of time, but abundance of photos, to try to keep you updated with the happenings in my life, I have decided to just add photos and offer basic explanations. Hope this works out for everyone. This last Saturday kick started the Spring Carnival for the Ranwick Races. It was ladies day which doesn't have the same specials as when I went to Pats game (where there was free drinks for ladies) but nonetheless every one dresses up nice, a lot of people wear fancy hats (I opted for the more budget friendly headband with feathers in it) and drink champagne. I only bet once because they were giving out free bets for signing up for something or other, so naturally I bet it on the horse with the worst odds. I figured, if you really have nothing to lose, GO BIG! At least on the outside chance that if that horse came out in front, you'd see a huge payoff. Well, when my horse entered the ring, I realized that was not going to happen. He was fat, even for a horse, and I'm pretty sure he only had three legs. Regardless it was a great time. Also, when you look through the pictures below, you'll see that I found Waldo at the races as well (or Wally as they refer to him over here).
I should also note that Sunday drinks are quite popular in Australia. Below are a few pics of me, my friend Alex from work (who requested a specific shout out in my blog. Hi Alex. Consider this your shout out), and a few of his friends that he introduced me to having a lazy Sunday at Rivisi's in Bondi Beach. It's no daiquiri deck in Siesta Key village but, hey, it'll do.
you did good Karpy.... you did good.
