Well last night I got to do something these Argentines love to do-Tango! We went to a club in Palermo and got to take lessons! I was in the beginner class, of course-but it was really fun to learn! Very sexy...you cant say "1...2...3...GO!" supposedly you are supposed to "feel" when you are supposed to start and take the steps. Goodness, i'm not sure that my American self has enough sexiness to truly tango like an Argentine! It was fun to try though!
After that we walked around Palermo for like 1332498573498732 blocks to find a place to eat that didnt look too fancy. Finally we found a cute little Italian place. Pretty simple! there was a 5 peso table charge for each person at our table. We counted it as the tip....we learned today that a table charge is NOT a tip. oops!
Today after class I went with some friends, Morgan and Celeste (also Aggies!) with their host parents around Buenos Aires on a personal tour. We went to the Japanese Gardens--very pretty!
It was Pretty! But kind of chilly! After that we continued our tour of the city-Its so much like NYC. Shops everywhere and little vendors on the streets.
Tomorrow we're planning on getting up and seeing some of the other neighborhoods that we didnt get to see as well last Sunday. Souvenir time!!
If you can get the hang of the Tango, you will be beautiful dancing it! Nana
