Jenica and the Mate
Jenica enjoying mate at the Plaza Francia in RecoletaGood evening everyone!
In a desperate attempt to aviod homework I decided it would be a great time to add a little blog! Not much has happened since we got back from Colonia, We went out last night to a club called Azucar (sugar) which is a salsa club, and danced the night away until 6 in the morning. The music was great, and a welcome change from "musica electronica" or trance music that dominates most of the clubs here. There was also a little show with some of the salsa teachers which was amazing, the ways they could move their bodies hypnotized everyone on the dance floor, especially the men. Coming from Canada, I'm not really accustomed to men who know how to dance... so it was interesting to see. (Hint to all men in Canada: the women here seem to really like dancing with men and not just slipping in the piles of drool left by men watching on the side lines, if you catch my drift...)
We went to spend the day in Recoleta and the fair with some friends and drank mate and ate cookies, and yesterday Jenica had her theater class, while I went off to
Balcony shot
So after waking up in the morning, here's a glimpse of what we look at on our balcony buy my very first pair of Tango shoes! Yeahh, they're wonderful, but I think I was a bit too eager about the shoes and ended up getting ones that are very high and very skinny... like a pencil. But I danced in them for about 3 hours yesterday and only in the last hour they started to hurt my feet. Turns out my tango teacher is pretty well known, her name is Lidia Ferrari and she is a psychoanalysist and professor at the biggest university in buenos aires, "La UBA" as well as one of the best professors of Tango in BA... who knew?? I'm liking it more and more and getting to know the people in our group class better, and since Lidia knows that we (Derek, my partner, and I) really want to learn tango, she really helps us out a lot on learning the dance.
Its getting harder and harder to concentrate on homework since we're really starting to get into other areas of interest here, as well, we're getting really excited for school to end and go travelling, but don't worry - we'll persever and get grades to make you all proud!
Well hopefully you are
