We couldn't leave Peru without going to the horse track. The horse track is beautifully located in the town of Monterico.
You can sit in the stands or go to the lower section and see the horses up close. There is also a restaurant that is not expensive and the food is good.
John and mama Julia (or Mama Who-Who to Johnny) always seem to have the best luck. Mama Julia won money on the first few horses. John bet 20 soles on the last horse to win. The odds were pretty low. This was the horse's first race, "extreno". Number 8, and wouldn't you know it, number 8 came in first. Making John's bet of $8 worth $120.We headed back home to finish packing. Unfortunately, I got ill and we couldn't fly out the next day. We left the following Wednesday. We had a great time in Peru. It was fun hanging out with the family and seeing the relatives.
