Tango is a huge part of the Argentine culture and the history of Buenos Aires. So our group of 15 gave it a shot one night at a tango club called "El niño bien". Starting with some rather glamorous white masks to protect against the swine flu, we took a thirty minute lesson, which reminded me vaguely of awkward 8th grade dances. We then left it to the more advanced dancers, returning to what we know best (orange juice and fernet, Willa?). Much to my surprise, an older man came to the table looking for a willing soul to strike the dance floor. How'd he know that I can never seem to say no? Let's just say that that little adventure provided a great deal of entertainment for onlookers...
