A stencil graffiti promising a return to the Faulkland Islands (or Malvinas as they are known here). Pictured are the islands themselves, a shape very familiar to all Argentines.

Luc, Marcos & Vagner I have to thank Marcos for driving us out to the Feria de Mataderos. It's in Liniers / Mataderos, on the far edge of Buenos Aires from where we are currently living. I also want to apologize for the sporadic posting. Our current apartment doesn't have internet. Even worse Blogger hasn't been making nice with my web host and I only seem to be able to get the posts published once every week or two.

The feria de Mataderos is this Guacho themed arts fair featuring a lot of parrillas, folk dancing and guys on horseback participating in Sotijo, a traditional game that requies them to pluck a dangling ring from an arc while galloping at full speed. It's quite something to watch as these guys are riding at easily 30mph while keeping their upper bodies totally still. Photo by Luc Garcia
