Preview: Daniel Trenner hosted a party at his apartment one
afternoon, which lasted until eight at night. He has a huge rooftop
terrace overlooking the beautiful cupolas of Buenos Aires, where we
were treated to a three-piece Tango band for our dancing pleasure
and a professional Tango show. The elite of the Tango world were
present and politely asked many of us to dance; what a wonderful
experience to be floating on a strategically located rooftop in the
heart of one of the most beautiful cities in the world, being led
by world famous dancers, to the music of the seductive Argentine
Tango. My OH MY We talked, lived, and danced Tango for eleven days,
and remained in Buenos Aires for a few extra days after our group
left so we could do some sightseeing. We went to the mausoleum of
Eva Peron, the famous antique and street fair in San Telmo, and, of
course, we went to the city of Caminito, made famous by a song of
the same name by the immortal singer, Carlos Gardel. We loved to
Tango before we went to Argentina. We fell in love with it in
Buenos Aires.
