In walking, we have averaged close to 6 km a day. 12,000 steps. That means that in the past 25 days, weContinue reading “Madrid Toledo Tarragona Granada Barcelona Girona”

Stories of friendship while living in Buenos Aires
Double Standards?
I have been following a couple of threads on social media that are on fire about the topic of charging foreigns a higher price admission to a Milonga than locals. My immediate response to this practice of pricing double standard is, huh? standard? Let’s see, this is my typical dance week. On Mondays, I usuallyContinue reading “Double Standards?”
Baby, it’s hot
It’s such a silly refrain, but right now in Buenos Aires… it is 93 degrees with 46% humidity It’s not too bad. Everyone reacts differently to the heat…me I can take 90 if I have shade and a breeze.

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.
