Here is the first one. How could I not choose this picture to represent love? And furthermore, how can one not love this ... http://tinatangos.com/blog/love/love-thursday-the-first-of-many/ Today seems to be one of those days. My dear friend SaraEllen and I have been exercising together lately (while she's visiting), making use of the beautiful parks in nearby barrios for jogging. Yesterday it rained and so we decided to run up and down the stairs of ... http://tinatangos.com/blog/buenos-aires/funny-little-quirks/ Sarah Vaughn: Dinah Washington: Ella Fitzgerald (my personal favorite): Billie Holiday: Judy Garland: http://tinatangos.com/blog/american-music/hot-mujeres/ It is an extraordinary warm and beautiful day.  SaraEllen and I are in the kitchen with the window open, she with her Spanish homework and I with my translations.  The air smells like summer, and with each breeze and each sound that drifts in, I am ... http://tinatangos.com/blog/buenos-aires/sunny-day/ My friend SaraEllen is visiting and today I was surprised at how warm it was - for being the middle of winter, it certainly was perfectly pleasant weather for walking outside with short sleeves and no jacket.

There is no gray, only black and white.  No purgatory, only heaven and hell. On some days my heart is so full of emotion and I just want to embrace this city and all of its beauty and weep with love. On other days I ... http://tinatangos.com/blog/buenos-aires/getting-out-for-a-while/ I couldn't just leave to Chile without changing my blog look! With the genius work of my friend at Roam2Rome, I now have my very own theme. Changes (adding sidebar stuff, etc.) will be made when I'm back and we have time. For now this is what it will be. Pretty ... http://tinatangos.com/blog/blogging/a-new-look/ It's amazing what you can find when you're surfing through todotango. :-) Like this poem, by Carlos de la Púa Para vos, Barrio Once, este verso emotivo con un cacho grandote de cielo de rayuela.
