Tango and Beef

 View from our hotel room. Puerto Madero.

 A restaurant we walked by with, as you can see, meat cooking by an smokey flame. Wanted eat there but already had plans for tango show.

 Our faces with Argentina flag

 Bridge that crosses puerto madero. Very modern suspension cables. blake said they are for show, but i think they do something. What you think dad?

 Having dinner before the tango show.

Strollin around town...or should i say city.

 a picture of me on the cool bridge but i can´t figure out how to turn the picture.

 The Tango...

Singing words we have no idea what they mean but still was amazing.
These are pics from Blakes camera since <i forgot my cord the computer. He is happy we are using his i know. My camera makes fun of his when we are not around so its good to give it some confidence.


We are leaving BA this afternoon on a 14hr bus to Mendoza. BA has been great but we are definitely not big city people. Went to an amazing steak dinner the first night...THE BEST STEAK THAT WE HAVE EVER EATEN! The couple at the restaurant next to us only ordered steak. no veggies. we know next time to only order meat because they melted in our mouths and took up the entire plate! Stephen and Grace would be in beef heaven.

Yesterday we spent walking around the city. LOTS of people and traffic. Very interesting but would help to know the language for sure. One aspect of this city that we cannot get over is the way people throw their trash in teh streets! There are some garbage bins on the sides of the road but there are tons of trash bags. today seemed to be a little less because we saw trucks picking up trash last night after the tango show. Another crazy culture aspect of BA is the amount of dogs! One park we walked through had a gated area with probably 20dogs barking. around the fence were another 15 dogs tied to the gate by a leash. Other dogs are just chilling on the sidewalks with the homeless. Don,t worry we steered clear since we did not get a rabies vaccine :)

OK so I made this city sound very dirty. The port area is very nice and upscale (where we went to dinner) and other areas are as well but we stayed around this downtown area which is hustle and bustle.

The tango show was fantastic. The music and dance are so intimate and moving that my emotions seemed to follow the dancers. The show was held in an old building with a three course meal, bottle of wine and cafe.

The bus station is a panic attack waiting to happen Laura Merrill. Luckily when we did find the window we needed to buy our tickets a girl in line spoke english and spanish so translated for us! THANK YOU GIRL FROM LA! going to try and load some pics...
