Great Day for the Fair!

Now that the cold snap seems to be over ...it's perfect weather to mill about Argentina's national version of a yanqui State Fair!

I just love it... as you might be able to tell. 'Course bein' an agricultural producer doesn't hurt my frame of mind at all. But the Yanq grew up less than 3 blocks from his state fairgrounds ...and for a city boy, it was a natchal born wonderment to see all the country people dolled-up in their best and to get a gander close-up at animules and weird machinery of giantesque proportions and no obvious purpose.

La Rural doesn't have any Midway ...but the food is as good if not better and has a couple of casual/fine dining opportunities that state fairs back in the old country aren't known for.

There's even a "foriegners room"! If you go, lemme know!

Dig it! I can't encourage you enough to catch the bus, subway, or train to Plaza Italia and groove to a piece of the agricultural soul of this great nation. Ends Friday.
