Thursday: I went to go see a Tango show called Tramatango! It was ridiculous. Made me want to get up and dance with them. We saw it on Avenida Corrientes which is the Broadway of South America. They even have some of the big ads like on Broadway in New York. Just being on the street felt so amazing. And to top it off, I sat in the 4th row from the front! What the heck?! You couldn't even understand how happy it made me to be able to get lost in the dance of passion and watch as the couples danced all over the stage. I wanted to be them in that very moment. I wanted to be on that stage smiling and dancing that gorgeous dance. It truly made an impression on me and inspired me to learn the tango as flawlessly as they performed it.
As if that wasn't great enough, Friday night I went to a Cuban salsa club! If you know me, you know I am in love with salsa, BUT Cuban salsa is soooo different from the salsa I know. So, I went with two friends of mine and we decided to go to the lessons beforehand. Little did I know, a GOD would be teaching the lesson for the group I decided to join. It was love at first sight for me. lol. But really, he's hot. Anywho, so we learned a bunch of fun spinny stuff and then had to move around to partners so we could dance with everyone and I kept getting paired with (can you guess) the HOT instructor. lol. And he learned my name and said it like a million times that night. And then, he kept using me to demonstrate moves to everyone. Tell me that's not heaven! After all the lessons, when the club opened, the night was just amazing. Danced for 7 hours, talked to the instructors, met other Americans, met Argentines, and had an amazing night. As I was leaving, I turned around to wave goodnight to my favorite dance instructor. He looked offended that I'd leave without walking over to him, so he ran over to me and told me goodnight. Then, he kissed me on my cheek and told me how pretty he thinks I am! oh heaven! Love it! lol, so you see, perfect night!
Saturday: a very inspiring day. While the rest of the world is focused on helping out Haiti (understandably), the Southern Cone of South America is more focused on helping out our neighbors in Chile. Argentina threw a benefit concert with a few very famous and grammy-winning Argentine bands in order to collect water and food for those who lost everything in the 2 earthquakes they've had in the past month. The concert was so amazing. They had so much to give to Chile as well. It was called Argentina abraza a Chile (Argentina hugs Chile is a direct translation). If you know anything about Argentina, you'd know that Chile and Argentina have never been the best of friends but it's amazing how much Latinos will support each other. Afterwards, we went to dinner and hit up a local bar and then I went home to bed!
Sunday: Very chill day. I've just been walking around and exploring more of my area. I went to another open air market where everything was even cheaper than the last. I bought a pair of sandals for 15 pesos. In American dollars, that's about $3.90! Go me! I also bought 2 pairs of earrings for under one American dollar! Then I came home, chilled, ate dinner and now the weekend is over! :'(
BUT WHAT AN AMAZING WEEKEND IT WAS.
sounds like you're having aan awesome time mama!! :) miss uuuu
