Happiness of sweets!! mmmmm
Just around the corner of my apartment is a cafe named "La Dulce Esquina"(The sweet corner).
What a perfect thing for me! Argentina has yummy sweets, like Lemon pies, Cheese cakes, Helado(ice cream)
other Argentine specialties with Dulce de Leche and chocolates, etc. etc... July 20th.
On our way back from a milonga, in a taxi. Here we use the taxis or collectivos (bus) or subte for transportation.
At "El Club Atletico de Fernandez Fierro". The orchestra Fernandez Fierro plays at this milonga.
They are a great great orchestra made from young hot musicians. The music is live and "raw".
You can feel their passion & joy for the tango music! They also play in the streets of San Telmo on Sundays.
July 21st.
With Jorge Dispari and Maria "La Turca". They are my best tango maestros!!
A shot of Gyu's back dancing with Natae after the class. The embrace is the most important thing in tango. July 22nd.

the singer for "Fernandez Fierro Orchestra". July 22nd.
