Parting

Time really does fly by as it did while living in Florida.

Last Friday we went dancing at La Pituca and the music was fantastic as she played D’sarle, Pugliese and Tanturi
Fabiola usually plays a lot of Cajenge… which for my taste is a bit squeaky.

As per usual, this milonga la Pituca draws a good crowd from the area. The dancers are mostly dancing in the style of close embrace with a bit of ballroom tango [gringo tango] thrown in too.

The space is probably in size, which is a bit smaller than El Beso with the dance floor being rectangular in shape,  and seating is only available on the left side. This is the entrada side of the room.

We have been going to this milonga whenever we are staying in Delray Beach.  It’s  only a 30-minute drive away.

This time in US has been busy as my 35-year-old son, who lives north of Seattle, visited us for 4 days. Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t the most cooperative for warmth as it was only in the low 70s, but at least it was almost double the temperature in Bellingham.

Was great to catch up on each other’s lives as we seem to see each other sometimes once or this year we got in 2 times. It’s really great to get to spend quality time with family. We just hung out at the house, mostly cooking, chatting, taking walks, and going to the gym.

It’s now Sunday, December 8th. Tonight, we fly to Venice and arrive late Monday afternoon.

Packing up the apartment and finishing packing for the next 4 months in Buenos Aires means figuring out what to leave and what comes with.

But as we go to Venice first, where the temperature is 48 degrees and possible rain is forecast. So, I have packed a few sweaters and my warm jacket with wool gloves from Finland and my funky pink headband from Krakow. So will stay warm.

We will spend 4 days before attending  La Reunión Tango Festival  at San Servelo Hotel on Isola di San Servolo. I’m excited, and I know it’s a bit crazy too. This is the same organizer whose festival we attended in the middle of July in Rome.  There are 150 people all together for the joy of dancing tango.

Then, after the festival is over, we will fly to BsAs. Now that’s a long flight with a flight  change in Madrid.

While it will be intriguing to return to BsAs with a new government and new tourist conditions, to us, it is always about dancing at the milongas and having a coffee with friends at a cafe.
