A Sunday at the Market

In the western suburbs of Buenos Aires, about an hour by bus is the Feria de Mataderos. It is full of folk dancers, gauchos, massive amounts of meat cooking, cheeses, liquors and hand made and home made goods galore. It is a great day out, people watching and eating (and then eating some more).
