We´ve been tangoed!
Yesterday I was fortunate enough to celebrate my 20-something birthday in Buenos Aires, home to Maradonna, tango, and big steaks. The day involved 2 of the above.We had booked tickets to go to see a tango show in the evening at the famous Cafe Tortoni. When we arrived we were shown to our table...at the very front! As we weren´t sure whether the show would involve crowd participation we were slightly nervous (ok, terrified) at the prospect of being dragged on stage to the amusement of the locals. I didn´t know much about tango at this point but I didn´t think flip flops would be the tango dancer´s shoe of choice.
Luckily we remained in our seats for the entire show. The dancers were absolutely amazing and they moved so fast hence the blurred pictures. For you blokes worried that I had dragged Rhod along for a night of girly dancing, worry not! There was enough to keep the men of the crowd entertained! He did not suffer.
The evening was topped off in a lovely restaurant eating fat steaks. A perfect birthday!
