Bits and bites...
Gabriel: Lately I didn’t bring my camera with me so not much to post but found to nice pictures while dounloading staff from it. In one of them you can see our canadian mascot that accompanied us all the way to Buenos Aires. Monica bought it in the airport.
So, a day ago we went to Sunderland on Lorenzo Lugones 3161. A great place, very traditional but very far. We came here twice...
WatchPatio Bullrich in Recoleta.
WatchTaking the ‘subte’
Where the time goes
Gabriel: time goes so fast, is like I arrived yesterday. With so much going on all the time and the heat, I’m really getting tired. Need to schedule everything better. I already started to go to only one milonga per night instead of two. I also started to take the subway most of the time. It is so much cheaper and so convenient. Taxis are not what they use to be, 8 or 10 pesos. Taking a cab...
Here the very specific voice of Adriana Varela...
Marion hijacks Gabi's blog...
Marion: I arrived in Buenos Aires a few days before Gabriel and Monica and a few days after Lucio. It has been so much fun and in the first 7 days I took in 10 milongas!! Lucio was my chaperone for a few of them because he speaks spanish and knows the city. After 7 days I still don’t have my bearings and direction. I keep getting turned around. Somehow they don’t print the maps the way...
Konex time
All is good, after the fantastic night at Konex we were getting ready for Christmas party. Here they celebrate on the 24th. I’m behind with the blog one day so now I’m trying to catch up.
We all went to Canning where a Potluck and milonga was organized. It was very nice. It started slow but after one o’clock people started to come in and by two o’clock the place was...
WatchGreat performances with Naveira’s kids Fernando Galera and Vilma Vega.
WatchIt is performance time.
WatchMilonga en Konex with orquesta “Ojos de Tango”. We had a great time, with birthday champagne, lots of dancing on live music and good friends. A perfect night.
WatchAt Porteño y bailarín; the famous singer Alberto Podesta
Special moments
Gabriel: cloudy today, no sun and 25 degrees according to my computer. Last night we went to Porteño y bailarín milonga. It was a special night. The famous singer Alberto Podesta gave a performance and it was magic. I wish I could have captured the entire show but I’ll try to upload at least one or two video clips. Not sure where we’ll go today. I’ll try to contact Lucio, maybe...
Another day
The milongas are great, lots of people even though there is almost 25 degrees outside and this is at 1:00 AM. Didn’t get a chance to see a tango show yet. It is great to see Lucio and Marianne (both from Vancouver) from time to time. We brainstorm about where might be the best milonga for the night. It is time I upload some pictures. Maybe the next days.
Very cold
Gabriel: almost ready for the trip. It is cold in Vancouver. OK, I’m not complaining. Just found out that in Calgary is twice as cold. I keep thinking how warm is going to be in Buenos Aires. I love the hot weather. The idea to go and dance in the milongas in Buenos Aires makes me feel really good.
Buenos Aires here I come
Gabriel: I was asked if possible to bring a bit of Buenos Aires to Vancouver, so I thought to start this blog. Never had a blog before and I don’t like to write a lot but I’ll try to add few thoughts, pictures and videos for the tango lovers in Vancouver.
