We landed at Terminal 1 and were told we needed to pick up luggage and do customs and immigration at terminal 2. We must have walked 2 miles from one end to the other.

While the sun heats up the days, tango heats up the nights.
After consulting tangomango.org we discovered there is a milonga or practika almost every night. This is now only late October, and the winter sun season begins in December. Snow birds [people] escaping the harshness of the colder climes of the northern US and Canada will arrive then, and the number of people living here inContinue reading “While the sun heats up the days, tango heats up the nights.”
Tango in Petra, Jordan
What an amazing place that is Petra. The landscape strerches for miles filled with red rock formations.

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. That statement changed my perspective quite bit. I am used to being an active person moving, walking daily up to 4Continue reading “Oh no!!! WTF…I said,”
