The minute I walked in, I knew I wanted it.  I had to have it.  It was just like being in a Tuscan villa, and the courtyard reminded me of Valencia, Spain.  This jewel in the middle of a busy street in Buenos Aires had to be mine to live in for two months.  I […]

Here I am! It’s been a great week, as my friend from Le Chemin du Tango has been assisting me in conquering the milongas of Buenos Aires. We’ve gone to Canning last Monday (loved it), Nino Bien last Thursday, La Baldosa with her Italian friend to see Julio and Corina perform on […]

Dear Miss Tango and her little baby came over to see me for lunch today. We ate a tomato and mozzarella salad, and my favorite Tuscan fettunta. We drank some good red wine on the balcony.

I love it!
We then walked all the […]
