Our favorite activity on a Monday night is to go to the races
Though races happen four times a week, it is really special to sit in the stands, cheering your horse on, while the night slowly falls and the lights come on over the city.
It only costs R$1 to get in, almost the cheapest entertainment in town (guess you could always go to the beach instead and not pay anything)
You can bet anything from $.50 upward and how exciting it is to go and collect, even if it is only one or two reais.
The food in the restaurant is very good
The building, build in 1926, is of a Luis XV style and will remind you of days past. It is beautiful.
You can get there on any bus that says `Via Jardim Botânico´ or you can park practically in front of the main gate and an old gentleman, who has been for over 25 years, will take care of your car.
NO SHORTS ALLOWED
