Anyone for Polo?

Back in Delhi this past weekend. Did a little Christmas shopping at the Indo-German Christmas market and found some unique holiday cards which I mailed back to the States today - thanks by the way for all the birthday cards I received last month. The week preceeding my birthday I was traveling for work in Gujarat and it was a nice surprise to come "home" to Delhi and find a stack of letters from half way around the world waiting for me at my flat - you should be receiving responses shortly via the sacred cow express.

On Sunday another American, my friend Virginia (who's from Georgia oddly enough), invited me to check out a polo match taking place at the army polo grounds here in Delhi, another legacy of the British. Cavalry Red, headed by Argentinian Martin Ravina, throttled Cavalry Green, 11 to 4 in the championship match of the Amity Charity Polo tournament. The event was free to watch but sparsely attended, so after the victory my friend and I had the pleasure of meeting the Argentinian star and congratulating his team.

Just a brief entry this time, have been busy at work and am making plans for a Rajasthani Christmas vacation in the Thar Desert. More to come soon - M
