They're big into polo here...at least some are. It's a very expensive sport and there are some very rich people here. We'd heard from Q about the Tackroom, which is (supposedly and according to him) an excellent and unpretentious restaurant at the Empire Polo Club. So we decided to bike there today on our sissy bikes and have lunch there. I mean we are an unpretentious couple...right!?!?
So off we went on our bikes and on the way came across somethng called The Cantina.
Another restaurant we hadn't heard about. It was on the way to the Tackroom so we said what the hell...let's give it a try and we'll do the Tackroom next time. So we take a small detour and cycle in and lo-and-behold its closed on Monday. No big deal but would it kill you to spend 5 bucks and change your sign to say "Closed Monday".
No biggy...off we go to the Tackroom. It's close by. It's about 1:20 now and I'm getting hungry...not to mention thirsty.
Sure as shit we get to the Tackoom and it's closed too. ASSHOLES!!!! What's with these people? Do they think they're Spaniards or something???
So we're shit-out-of-luck as they say back in Saskatchewan. Back on our bikes and back home we go where there isn't too much to eat but, luckilly, there are some things to drink.
This wasn't a total bad trip because the polo grounds are quite nice, we got to see some nice horses too.
Ya, that's a big dog...a real big sheet metal dog.
Maybe he keeps the horses in line...???
So after we get home I check the website once again. I'm gonna get their email address and rip a strip off them for beng closed on Monday and not saying something.
SHIT...now I see it...BUSINESS HOURS on Monday -- 4:00 PM to Close..and it's Monday today. Being retarded (as we are) you sometime lose track of the days and I guess it's my fault for not payiing closer attention.
So sue me...!!!!
We'll go back another day and see if Q was telling the truth.
