Today Venetia and I went to a lovely art exhibition at La Rural, a huge facility that always reminds of of the CNE in Toronto, where the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair is held. I don’t know how many artists were represented today, but it was huge! A great variety of art, some I loved, some not so much. I was tempted by a couple of pieces but in the end my wallet stayed closed!
When we came out of the exhibition it was about 4.30 pm — merienda time! We went into a parilla we had both passed many times and never went in. It was old school Buenos Aires, and we enjoyed some lovely veggies grilled on the parilla. Enough that I didn’t need to bother making dinner when I got home—bonus!

Like the lady made of recycled cardboard boxes (and the smaller one beside her)!
Haha!
I am so glad we went to see this! I have not been to La Rural for about two years! The merienda (afternoon tea with a difference) was good too at La Estancia.
Yes I really enjoyed the afternoon.
