Cathedral in Lujan, Argentina
Mark in front of one of the many alters to the Virgin Mary that are
found in the basement of the cathedral.

Mark with hundreds of SCOUT kneckerchefs.  We didn't realize that Argentina had scouts.
The alter from the United States--a beautiful wood carving of the Virgin Mary.

This is where you fill up your bottle with holy water.  I'm not sure 
what you do with the holy water though!
This is where you get your blessings!  (Bendiciones) The priest sprinkles holy water on your head or 
this instance, on this man's bottle of holy water that he just filled up.   Just before this, he blessed a woman. 
She stood in front of him and he shook his little wand and sprinkled water on top of her head!
The sign says, "Rural museum, the Province of Buenos Aires."

We almost ate here across the street from the rural museum!  You can see the food below.  
Also, you can read about our adventure in a previous post.
Rebecca ready with her knife.  The pictures above and below are the types of food that this restaurant serves.  If you look closely, you see rabbit, intestines, organs, different cuts of beef and pork and a variety of vegetables.  It smelled pretty good but there were just too many flies around for me!

The poor little creature with his legs and arms sticking out is a rabbit!
Believe it or not, this is a golf course about 10 miles outside of Lujan.  The white stakes are in the fairway.  We didn't see anyone playing golf though.  The huge rolls in the background are alfalfa.
