My new (rented) apartment

Hola!!!!
Bueno, finalmente las fotos del departamento ya terminado, con las cortinas instaladas y después que vino Charo a limpiar, cosa que esta todo ordenadito :). Las dos primeras fotos son del living, la verdad es que quedo muy lindo gracias al asesoramiento de Mayra. Las dos últimas son la cocina y la habitación. Luz en todos lados!!!! Ha sido un cambio para mejor definitivamente.

Finally some pictures of my new apartment looking like a home :) The curtains are in place and everything is nice and clean, that's because of Charo, the lady that comes once a week to clean. That have change my life too, I now realize how much time I was worrying about cleaning and cleaning :( Anyways, the first two pics are from the living/dining/computer room. The last two are the kitchen and my bedroom. natural light everywhere!!! It has definitely been a change for the best.

Visita a la Expo Nuestros Caballos II

Continuando con las fotos de la Muestra y de la Rural. Primero una foto de la pista central.
Moving along with more pictures of the exhibition, this is a picture of the main stage.

Mientras estabamos ahi hubo "concursos" preclasificatorios para la final que se va a llevar a cabo en la Exposición Rural. Nosotros enganchamos los de caballos de trabajo (no tengo fotos) y despues otros en los cuales se evalua el caballo, y la vestimenta del jinete asi como la montura, etc. En general la vestimenta del jinete y la montura son de un determinado periodo historico, este era del siglo 19 (no recuerdo el período exacto).

While we were at the main stage there were some contests going on. One was to evaluate work horses (I have no pictures of that one) and the others were about the horses as well as the riders and horse clothes. There were referencing to certain historic periods of the country and how the riders used to dress at that time, as well as which type of saddle they used. It was quite interesting.




Imagino que ya extrañaban una auto-foto, asi que acá les va :P So here the classic self-portrait :P

Visita a la Expo Nuestros Caballos I

Hola!!!!
Mi papá estuvo de visita a finales de marzo y aprovechamos para ir a la Rural a ver la exposición Nuestros Caballos. Papá nunca habia ido a la Rural y yo habia ido para una Feria del Libro, pero esta vez la experiencia fue muy diferente porque pudimos ir a la pista central y ver bien los edificios, etc.

So my dad was visiting end of March, we took one day to go to see a horse show featured at La Rural. There were horses of all races: criollos, polo, arabic, work horses, etc. The place where it took place it's a tracitional spot in Buenos Aires. I had been there before for the "International Book Fair" but the site looked completely different. This time we were able to see the main stage and all the different buildings inside.

En esta foto papá con la pista central de fondo. My dad and the main stage on the background.

Algunos de los puestos dentro de la muestra... La marca me resulto graciosa :) One of the stands inside the exhibition, I found the name funny. They were selling clothes BTW.

There were also showing things that were going to be sell on an auction later... Really expensive stuff, like this beautiful car.
También estaban mostrando cosas que iban a ser subastadas... no quiero ni empezar a pensar en los precios ni en el hecho que hay gente que tiene esa plata... pero bueh... El auto estaba lindo.

Más cosas de la subasta. More thing for the auction.
