| The big attraction in Lujan (about an hour away from BA) is the cathedral which was built in honor of the Virgin Mary. A few hundred years ago, a small statue of the Virgin Mary fell out of a wagon in a certain place and the legend says that it wouldn't be moved. So the town build a cathedral to house the statue. Then many of the countries of the world sent their own statues of the Virgin Mary, which are all housed in the basement of the church. I felt that the church had a bad feeling in it, especially in the basement. |

| This is the good one! These are all scarfs from boy scouts with the Argentina flags on the sides. I guess the boy scouts exist here, but I have only see one ward that had some cub scouts. |

| This is where you get sprinkled with holy water...bendiciones (blessinsgs) |

| Bring your bottle and fill it up with holy water. |

| After leaving Lujan, we went to a little town called "Carlos Keen". We stopped in at a restaurant and they took us in the back to see their grill. We were really impressed with the variety of meats, many of which we would not have been brave enough to eat, even if we had stayed and eaten there. We just wanted a lite dinner, but they wanted to serve us a full meal, so we ended up leaving. |

| That's a rabbit spread-eagle! |

| These 2 pictures show the grill. |
