Polo and a Street Fair - Day 24

Today we went to a HUGE polo grounds in Indio. There is a women's tournament going on with players from all over the country. It is a TRULY rich person's sport. We talked to players to learn some of the rules etc. They told us that it costs $100-$300 to lease a horse for just one day. Each period is called a chukkar. There are 4 riders per team. It was interesting and a glimpse of a different world. The horses are taken care of better than most children in the world.

Then, we went to a big street fair at the College of the Desert in Palm Desert. We bought some fresh dates (yum), some asparagus and a hat for me as I left mine behind in Nantucket.
