Tango Sant' Elena, Tonight


Tango under the stars--or trees--has become a weekly event here in Sant' Elena, and is a welcome addition to the neighborhood. I can hear the music through my open window as I type these words, vintage songs from the era of Carlos Gardel: a perfect accompaniment for a summer night.

Sights of a summer night, 9:30 pm: tango in foreground, kids playing soccer in the background; if we were in Buenos Aires, both the kids and the dancers would still be at it at 3 am

  2. So don't forget your dancing shoes, Yvonne, next time to you visit--well, unless it's in the dead of winter. Then bring your ice skates for San Polo.

  3. I think I'll be renting skates, Siggie! :-) (It's been a while since I visited the Emergency department of your hospital.)

    1. If you're anything like the ice skater I am, Yvonne, skates are indeed likely to get you to that emergency room in no time! So perhaps it's better to stick to a good pair of walking shoes...

    1. I can attest that it was a great evening, and am glad you let people know about it in advance. I look forward to the next one and would encourage others to check it out.
