I am here!

Try the Serbocroatian pronunciation...
door to the bathroom
the kitchen "schrank"
the living room
Meeting with friends at Madrid airport, Biba and Sol




Just had a long morning chat with Maria, the woman who lives in the apartment in Palermo Viejo, the bohemian part of Buenos Aires, that I am renting a room in. What a woman, and what stories she has to tell (and she tells them as well)! And what an apartment (she is an architect and she has done remarkable things to this flat without changing the feeling of its 100 ears of age)! She lives her with two of her three daughters. Now she is upstairs at the terrace, watering all the plants she has grown there for years. Wondering how they manage to stay alive in this sun and heat. Well, it is around 25-30 degrees so it is quite ok both for tango and for shopping. I can inform you I have done bot since I arrived. Dancing outside yesterday evening was nice. Went to a private party with one of my fellow tangueras from the class, which was nice. The first day I slept the whole evening and missed the Friday dance... Taking classes for Swiss, Argentinian and Swedish (!) young teachers has been ok but nothing "halucinante" (tremendusly special). Still I got to know some people and will be the help dancer of a Canadian man who will take three classes with one of the best, and most expensive Argentinians at the moment. And I will accopany him.. for free! :) The plan for today is to check out the area a bit more, maybe to take a class, but most importantly, to go to the milonga of Sunday nights - el beso!

Fint att se bilder, huset verkar fantastiskt, vilken takhöjd!
Min tangoTat, deluxe med solig takterass, svårt att tänka sig att värme kan vara jobbigt från ett regnigt Malmö. Stor puss, tu me manques, mais ca tu le sais deja.

Wow, vad lyxigt du bor! Vilken tur att det inte blev nåt på "Simon´s ställe" :)
Du slipper regn o rusk och basselusker. Jag fick åka till doktorn i fredags med en sprängande kind, bihåleinflammation, suck!
Annars allt bra här, är så kär.. i lille Viktor såklart ;)
Hoppas du hade skoj på söndags milongan och att du lärt känna lite trevligt folk.
Besos y abrazos
