With the close of 2022, comes a change or two in the tango world of Buenos Aires. The vaulted space of Salón Canning [Parakultural] is closing and moving in the new year to Club Marabu on Maipu calle. With out of country friends visiting, we all decided to go to this mecca of Tango. ForContinue reading “Changes”
Maybe it’s time!!!
While living in the USA for last couple of months, I met many folks who admired my decision to no longer live in the US. Most expressing disbelief, but saying you are so brave for living the dream in retirement. Traveling, dancing and living as an expat in different counties. I paused to consider howContinue reading “Maybe it’s time!!!”
Back in Seattle, Washington,USA
Brrrr. I am cold. Yes, laugh it is 65 degrees in Seattle and the sun is shinning. My body is used to 75 and 85 degree weather. Yes, I have turned into a weather wimp. Ahh at least it’s not raining.

Oh no!!! WTF…I said,
Really I have 2 fractures in my foot and can’t dance for a minimum of 2 months. This was the news my foot doc gave me, a week before leaving Istanbul for the US.

Istanbul stories
We’ve been here two months and continue our discovery of all the milongas in the city while exploring the food and nightlife that exist here. We love Tango. We live Tango. We love Tango. We live Tango. But sometimes a change is really good for the hips and heart. [Think tango and then blues fusion]Continue reading “Istanbul stories”

This city is huge 1539 square kilometers (594 square miles) And it’s history has over 2000 years going back to the Greeks, Romans, and the Ottomans before becoming the city known as Istanbul. For many years this city was previously known as ConstantinopleContinue reading “Istanbul continued…”
Its been a week…
It’s been a week since we arrived in Turkey. 10 hours from Buenos Aires to Miami and then 10 more hours to Istanbul, and then on to Antalya in 1.5 hours. So glad we flew over a few days, as sitting on a plane makes my body crazy. Plus no matter how many homeopathic sleepingContinue reading “Its been a week…”
