Sunday folk festival

Lovely day at the Feria de Matedoros, a folklore fair in the the neighborhood of the slaughterhouses, the very western section of the city.  It had music, dancing, booths with crafts and food, and gaucho skills.  The music and dancing were beautiful great fun--tango, chacarera, chame', and zamba.  We danced a little tango, Chuck did chacarera with a local, and I danced a chame' with Julio.  Perhaps the most fascinating and compelling was the horse dancing rings.  The rider rides at breakneck speed down the road and, while moving at that speed, tried to put a pencil like stylus through a ring, which is about one inch in diameter, hanging from a strap.  There are two rings about 12 feet from each other and the object is to get both.  Just amazing to watch.
