the better BA

Last night we splurged a little and dove into Argentine life. We walked down the street and found a beautiful outdoor patio that had 4 restaurants on it. We were just planning on walking by, even though it was so beautiful, but one of the waiters suckered us in when he mentioned the free tango show that would be starting in twenty minutes. It was a little more pricy than normal (but i think pretty standard for around here.... i´ve got to get used to american prices again apparently) at around 12 usd for the meal that we split. But it came with Steak, salad, water and coffee. We also bought a 12usd bottle of AMAZING malbec wine from Mendosa. It was so good. Oh man I have missed good wine! Peru and Ecuador just dont have it. We ended up being seated right on the edge of their preformance area, which was amazing.

Two men came and sat down, picked up their acordian and guitar and started playing a beautiful spanish/argentine melody. Then the Tango guy leaped up from the sidewalk and did all this amazing fancy footwork to ¨lure¨ the woman out. She came out and they danced. Man how they danced. It was beautiful to watch. So complicated and precice and so much passion. I really loved it. envoronment, music, dancing, wine.... it was wonderful. Also, at the other 3 restaurants were other bands preforming either tango or flamanco music. All of them had dancers as well. It was so cool!

So that is a better start to our life in Argentina. I am going to forget about how expencive everything is going to be here and just enjoy it. Also going to forget about that airport fee that we were surprised with at the airport. Gotta love spending an extra 130 when you weren´t expecting to....
But life here is going to be good. I am excited for what is going to happen.
