It’s the Tuesday after finishing a week of strict lockdown. June 1.
The cafes are back with chairs and tables, last week most were closed. A few choose to open but they only put a few tables out.
On Sunday nite, was the last nite of strict restrictions and being in by 6pm. After being in for two days, I decided to go on a walk about.
The parks were crowded with people sitting in groups socially distanced. Children and dogs were running about. And my favorite part, the sky was blue anc the sun was warm. Lots of folks just taking in the sun.
We are back to being in our homes by 8pm. At least the restaurants can serve outside again
Many are prepared for winter with heaters and blankets. Many have chosen to close. I read that 12,000 restaurants and hotels have closed in Bueno Aires.
Am sure, Paris, New York and many other large cities are experiencing the same loss.
But yet there are a brave few who are trying to figure out a way to stay in business. I support these folks.
On my way home on Sunday night I found a small asada outside one of my favorite little bars. I bought a churipan sándwich. And it was so good.

I chose tango as my dance because I love the lifestyle, embrace, and, yes, dressing up.
In my tango series, I share images shot worldwide, in the places where I have danced: Spain, France, Germany Turkey,Canada,Italy Greece, and the USA, but mostly in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
With my written stories, I try to share some of the experiences that have stayed with me... An amazing embrace, a beautiful meal, a slightly uncomfortable life moment at a stay a train station or airport. These are the moments we remember.
As to my personal info, I was born in New Jersey eventually, after living in New York, Boston, and San Francisco, most recently on San Juan Island in Washington state, I moved to Buenos Aires in January 2020.
For 38 years, years I curated a contemporary art gallery, where I refined my skills and became a visual editor.
Always with a camera or some picture-capturing device in tow [including much heavy equipment], I started my travel at approximately the same time, was introduced to tango about 12 years ago.
VIsual storytelling begins with a moment. Some internal mechanism is triggered by a scene or event or movement and ...there's your photo.
Other times, it’s about a sliver of color or something else odd or ordinary that captures the eye.
As I am now fluent in Spanish, it is my desire that my stories and photos reach the broader tango community and other travelers.
Travelingtango offers translations into Spanish, Italian, and German.
Abrazo!!!
