The Last Week

This is the final stretch of my regular good ol' days in Buenos Aires! It hasnt totally hit me yet. I kicked off the week right by revisiting some of my fave places-- La Bomba de Tiempo and Catedral for a little tango. This time I danced like a normal person and did pretty preeettty pretty good. Just sayin. I mean, it's the basic steps, but still, rock.

After La Bomba de Tiempo, we went to a bar down the street, and there was, once again, this random, so very cool, musico en vivo going on. I never got the name of the band, or the place we were at... but they were like... turkish? maybe? question mark? It was really cool.

So, I may have mastered the art of the tango, but at Catedral, there was another folkorico dance situation going on. I was like, hmm, I don't know this yet. But I LOVED it! I could totally work it. The more I'm here, the more I come across these little great music venues, and now it's almost time to go. Altogether now... WAHHH.

¡Baila, Baila!

Last night we went to a "milonga" which is a tango bar. This is not a tango show... just a bar, where people baila the tango. They had a 1 hour lesson for the beginners (us). It was so much fun! I'm definitely going to get my tango lesson on some more, so I can go back and show those porteños how it's done. El Catedral is the name of the milonga... and it's way cool. It's a bit warehousey, crazy weird stuff on the walls... later they had a live band, and it was just very very cool. I will be back.

After downing some Stella, Cuz B, Cuz Elise and Dancing Partner Luca and I hit the flo'. We did well, caused some traffic jams, minor collisions, but it was really fun. When they asked who did NOT know the 8 basic steps, we all raised our hands. Bueno. Then later on, I think a 75 year old man asked me to dance... or asked why I wasn't dancing? Not sure. Either way, score.

Get yo'tango on
