Busy day yesterday--shopping in the central city then a lesson with David and Belen at 2 then we returned to the Zivals, the music store (sorry about the lack of accents--my computer doesn't make them).  But what seemed to be a pretty routine day turned into a crazy adventure.  When we finally left Zivals, around 5:30, the subways were so crowded that people were waiting 2 or 3 trains only to be packed in like sardines.  So, we waited a bit then gave up and decided to take a taxi home--only to discover that the traffic was gridlocked.  So, we returned to one of our favorite restaurants in Bs.As., Clasica Y Moderna, for coffee.  It was wonderful to be there--same waiter who was there 5 1/2 years ago. It's a charming cafe/bookstore/concern venue.  Had the best coffee we've had in the city and shared a flan.  After relaxing there for an hour or more, we tried the subway again--still packed so we walked for blocks till about 8 p.m. when we finally got on further out the line.  Finally made it home at almost 9!  Rested and had soup then off to one of the best milongas we've been to since we've been here:  La Milonguita in Palermo across from La Viruta.  It is held in a beautiful baroque hall of a church.  The music was fabulous, people were friendly, it was gender balanced, and we both danced till one.  A nice ending to a crazy day!

No pictures.  I didn't take my camera.  Off to San Telmo for the early part of the day then a couple of lessons this afternoon.  Haven't decided on the evening.
