Tired toes!

Well, we finally did the tango binge.  After a shopping trip in the Central City (walking Avenue Florida to check out shops), we headed off to my last tango lesson with David Leguizamon and Belen Bartolome.  They have been great--I'm certainly not "fixed," but I do know what I need to work on and have a "before" and "after" video to remind myself.  So, lots of hours of practice when I get home.
After the lesson, we took the subway back into the central city to go to the afternoon "El Abrazo" milonga.  Out last time there.  We sat separately so both danced most tandas (my spell check wanted to change that to pandas!).  Had a really nice time and said goodbye to people saw there weekly (this time and the last two).  Having had no lunch, we were both hungry so left the milonga at 7 to return home for some food, a bath, and a nap (I had the bath and nap.  Chuck cooked).  Left the apartment at 11:30 for the second milonga of the evening where we met our friend Julio.  I was still a bit tired from the earlier dancing so we sat together and only danced with each other (though I had one dance with Julio).  We left there at 3 and went on the the overnight milonga at La Viruta for almost 3 more hours of dancing, medialunas and cafe con leche at 5 am, and the magical final dance a bit before 6.  Again, we only danced together except for one surprise dance when a young man came over and asked me--a lovely dance but by then I was in practice shoes.
This morning we slept till 11 and are just relaxing now--with coffee!  Or, I should say, I'm drinking coffee and sitting.  Chuck seems to be dancing around the apt!!
