Folks at the music store Yenny who were a tremendous help with music selection.
Don't ask how many cds i bought. That also applies to shoes. :-)

Our buddy Jorge!...He's a DJ in Buenos Aires and was cheerfully
telling us the espanol for all the salad ingredients.
okay...these illustrate my way of communicating before I took espanol lessons.
Juan Bruno is a very sweet milonguero who was praying (!) that I start lessons soon.

A charming man who is good friends with our friends, Bill and Liz Matthiesen.
Shoes!!!!!!!
One of the many nice shoe store owners I met while in Buenos Aires.
Sabine decided to break in her shoes while we were shopping.

The food was so good!
One of our favorite restaurants, the Estancia.
The wait staff that made our lives so easy. What they had to put up with!!
Buenos Aires is filled with unbelievable architecture/design/art.
Recoleta Cemetary...we were actually taken down into one of the mausoleums. (on the sly of course)
Needless to say it was scary and dark.
There were three levels which we reached by walking down a narrow circular stairway.
The bottom level was basically a room with shelves with coffins that went farther into the ground.
They were part of an elevator system so that you could rotate the coffins.
I was surprised to see that so many people still feel passionately about Eva.
