La Rural

Yesterday, Zoë and I went to La Exposición Rural, a huge event going on in the city right now. You can read about it in English here.

We picked the perfect day to go, lots of sun, unlike today which is extremely gray and rainy! Here are some photos:

Me with cows (and, in a gesture of unintentional cruelty, showing off my new leather bag):
Zoë identifying with the cows:


It's a clone !!!!

Sheep-show. Note the awesome uniforms, including berets!

Judging the sheep:

I tried to take a pic of this mega-adorable baby lamb:

Excessive:

Look at that TAIL:

Pobrecito :(

Livestock: a spectator's sport.

Zoë con queso :)

This last one requires a closer look: it's a chinchilla sleeping IN A JAR. Don't worry, it's alive, it can get out, I think it just likes it in there...that's how all the chinchillas were!

  1. Wants to be like that chinchillaaaaaa! Although, it wouldn't be as comfortable as it makes it seem because there wouldn't be any privacy. But I guess that's the idea so that you can still see him in his hibernating self.

  4. speaking in spanish=NOT FAIR, YOU TWO!

    I so laughed at the "unintentional cruelty" comment.

    and DON'T JUDGE THE SHEEP, IT ISN'T NICE.

    this is hilary, btw.
