tango

I love the tango! We saw this great show last night - 8 dancers, 2 singers, 5 musicians including 2 accordians. It was beautiful. Of course it didn't hurt that the restaurant kept refilling both our champagne and malbec glasses at the same time for the whole evening. But even without the extra stimulation, I think I'd love the tango. Something about the music and singing makes me wish I could speak Spanish. Again. Everytime I go to a Spanish speaking country I come back wanting to learn, and then with time the motivation dies. It amazes me that I remember any of my high school Spanish at all. And oh, I wish I could dance the tango too! There's no way my wheelchair dancing classes could teach me anything like what I saw, but as Jim and another person I was talking to remind me, not many people can dance like that either. It looks like such fun.

All was smooth going too. Google Rojo Tango in Buenos Aires, and you'll see that it's a show at a very posh hotel that there was no way we'd want to spend the kind of money required to stay there. But the show is worth it. As part of the service they pick up any diner that wants a ride, wherever they are staying, in their fleet of Mercedes cars. And Mercedes cars here are really really a luxury. The only glitch for the evening, which was more amusing than a real problem, was that there was a ramp down from the entrance into the dining area. And they had put a table right at the foot of the ramp. Everyone else went down the steps just to the side. They had to move a couple of diners to get me through.
