John and I went mid-morning last Sunday before the crowds got really big. I was having so much fun watching the horses that he left me in the arena where I stayed the rest of the day. I tried to go back yesterday after going to the gym at the embassy, but there were hundreds of people waiting in line to get in &#8211; evidently the last weekend is the BIG weekend. It looked the same today with livestock and horse trailers parked up and down the street &#8211; right in the middle of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rest of the week was pretty routine &#8211; just back and forth to work and settling in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s some photos from La Rural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"240\" height=\"320\"
