After our overly ambitious night of drinking and socializing we were invited to watch a game of Polo out of Mexico city. Javier has two polo horse called boots and Teddy which he plays a few chuckas on every Sunday. Boots actually has an intersting lfe story, he was found on the street as a horse that used to carry sacks of boots for sale around the villages, the polo trainer thought he looked like an athletic horse so they bought him and he is now Javiers best polo pony!!
Dani had her first ride of a horse and can now steer, stop, and go all on her own!! Boots was a great teacher :)
Tiffany had a crack at hitting some balls from the tired mare Teddy, whilst Julian and Katherine played an on the ground version of polo quite unsucessfully.
Because of our late night when we returned to the house in Polanco at 4pm we hit the sack after watching Love Actually and only awoke for an amazing Dani and Katherine creation for dinner, not a very packed day but a well needed recovery.

Another non-exciting day of planning and organising so that the rest of the trip could be settled. At least we achieved a full calendar of fun activities.
Tiff had a quick trip to the doctor for her cold and then met us back at the house where we headed with Javier to his office.
We organised our money and got some US dollars changed to pesos for easy spending.
We had a delicious lunch with Javiers friend Jorje where we ate yummy empanadas and the biggest steaks in history!!
We shared the smallest steak on the menu between two which was 450g of delicious fillet, they breed beef well over here, YUMMM
After lunch we took Julian to the park which had a myriad of slides, mokey bars and rock climbing, pretty awesome! we delivered Julian back to the house and headed off for a small shopping expedition to Palacio de Hierro(a shopping mall).
On return to the house we began our planning with booking of bus trips, plane tickets, white water rafting, cancun adventure and small roadtrips in between.
We decorated the christmas tree which is a gum tree and ate a delicious fish dish for dinner, luckily we couldnt make the tv work so we were forced to fall asleep at a reasonable hour.
