Marisa Nieto (Horse Races)


Given the fact that I’m from Puerto Rico it is very expensive and complicated to go back home for breaks. This means that I stayed in New Orleans during Thanksgiving break. My friend Bennett Hendricks invited me to go have dinner at his house but before actually sitting down and having dinner we wen to the Fair Grounds to go bet on horses at the horse races going on. I had never in my life attended such an event. It was amazing. People of all ages and all social classes dressed to impress on Thanksgiving Day. We got to bet on the horses we wanted and watch a race from the sideline. Watching the jockeys race was so exciting I even felt a sort of adrenaline rush. It was a very unique experience for me.
