We're 1/2 way through and still going strong.
Yesterday we had rain and now it feels like fall.
Yesterday was Monday and an official holiday - some of us took it pretty easy - sleeping and vegging waiting for another fantastic group meal. I ended up choosing a place in San Telmo to have some pretty traditional foods and changed the itinerary a bit. We ate an historical building- built in 1700's - Tasca de los Cuchilleros

The group shared some Locro - a soup cooked for several days with meat and corn and chick peas and very filling and made only for this holiday. We had churros y chocolate (yummy!) and a few miscellaneous foods - ie: i had a salad and some veggies and then there was a steak "al caballo" shared amongst a few of the group. (with fried egg on it!).
Then we walked in the rain home (a few of us anyway!) and hung out until we went next door to another milonga - how cool are we - living next door to a milonga?!!
So the milonga - called La Bendita Milonga - has live music from a young tango orchestra called "El Afronte". It was a great pick for where we all are at this point - needing some rest but still needing to continue with our tango immersion. EVERYONE enjoyed the live music and the casual atmosphere of the milonga - I was / am so glad about this...
There are so many pictures and i've already started to upload them all to google picasa - will share that site when i have it!!! more soon....
