A Day at the Races

 well...goat races that is

Bajaj-covered tricycle

After donning our fancy clothes and enjoying a light breakfast (; we headed to the races.  Our chariots were the new age bajaj that kindly dropped us off at the front gate.  We entered to find a new world filled with many types of people.  The entire spectacle was quite overwhelming.   There was food from Italy, Thailand, and more, and booths set up to advertise the various charities the race was supporting.    The goats came from all over Africa to race, and their respective owners were very excited.  We watched as they were carried onto the race track and set up.  Now goats are not natural racers, so behind the goats they drug a large piece of material and chased them around the tracks.  Once around....then twice....then the winner! Number seven - Baaaaaaaaaaaazokah won the race.  Oh it was all quite exciting.  Too bad I didn't bet on lil' guy.

After all that excitement we needed a break so we headed down to watch the sunset at coco beach and enjoy a coca-cola.
