The Captain suggested I see a Polo match while I'm in Paris. He has become an avid player. I'm a fan of the sport. Had I ended up in Hawaii instead of Paris, I would have been eating pineapple all week and spending the weekends watching Polo. Anything related to horses is exciting.
I googled Polo in Paris and after navigating the website, appropriately titled Polo de Paris, I realized that the Polo season is short here. It starts in March, and ends July 1st. Bummer. The boys at the hotel are going to see if there is a practice I can attend at the club this weekend. I was disappointed to find out the closest match this weekend is in Normandy, where Stephane is now. He's returning to Paris tomorrow so even a day trip is probably out of the question.
I'd like to see the club here, but I'm afraid my French is not good enough to talk my way in without an escort. If it doesn't work out this visit then I will have to return in the Spring. I will use any excuse to come back to Paris!
My bucket list is growing rapidly as I also continue to check things off of it.
New this week: learn to play the accordion, see a polo match in Paris!
