We are now in Buenos Aires, trying to take in everything this big city has to offer. There is lots to see and many good restaurants — all with excellent steak and wine.
Argentina is known around the world as home of the tango, and trying to experience this culture we decided to take a tango lesson. We found a dance hall that offered lessons to locals and tourists, and luckily there were beginner and first-time lessons. The dance hall:
After first loosening up with some scotch, we were as ready as we would ever get. Our faces, however, still revealed our fear of the embarassment that is sure to come.
In general, the lesson went well. Unfortunately, it was taught entirely in Spanish, which made it even harder to follow. Fortunately, we weren´t the worst ones in the class. Unfortunately, some women still told us we need to practice more.
Overall we had a great time and were glad we did it … and we are still happy we weren’t the worst ones!
