Sigh… I love webcams.

Posted by Tina Published in Buenos Aires

I can’t wait to go back.

Webcam shots from here. I also like this one from Itaú.

Sensitivity

Posted by Tina Published in Tango

One more entry before I’m done for the day. I feel like sharing that on Saturday night I had the most lovely tanda with a man who was relatively new to tango (I think). He didn’t know how to dance the close embrace, he immediately held me good foot or so away from him. Normally this annoys […]

Congratulations to Cherie, Expat Mentor of the Month!

Posted by Tina Published in Buenos Aires, expats

TangoCherie has been selected by expatwomen.com as Mentor of the Month.
This touches a soft spot for me for a few reasons: 1) she lives in Buenos Aires, 2) I’m an expat too, and 3) I had the honor of meeting her unexpectedly at a milonga (and ran into her a couple times after that at […]
