Tango For Tourists
Learn the Tango Today
Buenos Aires has its own rhythm. Coffee and some exploration in the morning. For some people, a substantial lunch for the first half of the afternoon. A substantial lunch includes the Minimum Daily Requirement of Malbec and a meal that includes beef. Our group squeezed in tango lessons for 20, something that is readily available in the right sections of BA. This is just like the movies. The tango dancers dress in black and a little white. The guys look suitable macho and nimble. The girls are terrific dancers and a little dangerous with 4 inch stiletto heels and some very acrobatic back kicks.
And they got most of us up to try ourselves. With about a half hour of group lessons and a strong partner you could almost believe you could do the tango.
The Dinner Hour Starts at 9 or 10 or Later
The first couple of nights we went out to eat we wondered why the restaurants were almost deserted when we showed up. I took us a day or so to figure out that this was a Mediterranean lifestyle – 10PM was a perfectly normal time for Argentineans to start thinking about dinner. Restaurants were just filling up when we were finishing our coffee and desert. There must be a late afternoon nap that is part of the lifestyle, because many of the people are just getting started when I’m ready to give up and go to bed around midnight.
It Must Be the Hat!
