Sun and Bright November Days

AH! Argentina
After 6 trips to Buenos Aires in 2 years we laugh because we still haven't taken the "city tour". Maybe next time I say as we head out the door to find a lesson or afternoon milonga.
The city intrigues me. A flow of life that amuses- makes me giggle as I hear
"leather factory" or "tango show, lady?" too many times coming out of our apartment on Florida- the main pedestrian tourist shopping street. Here we see it all- musicians, trinkets and paintings for sale, magicians, beggars that break my heart, food smells- the grilling of beef, and of course, the tango at it's worst, if there is such a thing.

Tango tango tango

Getting an organization started to introduce our area to tango is getting to be an interesting -almost full time job.
First Night in Scranton on Dec 31 is still not in place with 4 days left to plan and haul and set up our little spot with 2 (30) minute spots.
We work hard to build our fragile group of tango dancers with monthly events in the area and a tango tent in the summer in Factoryville.
Tango every Sunday from 5:30-8:30.
Food, music and a glorious view.
