Saturday – Sunday (November 22-23)


November 25th, 2008

On Saturday we took a class with Carolina Lafata & Christian Duarte (@DNI) – tango nuevo in the closed embrace and we enjoyed it a lot, finally learning how to do a nice gancho (for a woman) backward in close embrace. As it was warm and sunny (almost 30degrees!) we were off to the Recoleta open-air fair straight after the class. Having bought lots of bombillas and calabash gourds for drinking mate (as well as few pairs of earings ;) ) we enjoyed delicious Freddo ice-cream – mascarpone with strawberries and chocolate with whole almonds…mmm…

As it was getting even hotter during Sunday, we decided to explore the Buenos Aires’ park, namely, Parque 3 de Febrero, which consists of many other parks… Our first destination were botanical gardens (Jardin Botanico) designed by Thays – the guy who introduced the beautiful jacarandaes in Buenos Aires. Jacarandaes’ blossoms are of delicate violet colour and are the most characterstic trees of Buenos Aires.

The second destination was the Japanese gardens (Jardin Japones) in which we had few moments of rest and we were lucky to see the exhibition of the orignal Japanese kimonos.
All the pictures from both gardens and Recoleta are here :)

On Sunday evening we went to the milonga Porteno y Bailarin (Riobamba 345, 20pesos) which was supposed to be the closing milonga of Pulpo’s Tango Week, however around 12:30 it was still dead and the music was inaudible due to huge fans, so we didn’t stay for long…
