Starting Our Vacation

We did get some sleep last night. We crashed about 9:30 PM and got up about 8:30 AM. We had breakfast on the patio with some of the other guests. There are a mixed lot of guests with a couple from Vancouver, Canada, another couple from Belgium, a lady from Sydney, Australia who is finishing a year of travel around the world. There is also a Finnish gentleman who was competing in the 2012 World Field Archery Championship that was held last week here in Argentina. He did very well coming in first in the Adult Male Longbow division.

We spent the afternoon at the San Telmo Antiques Market. This is a weekly event every Sunday where they have several streets where vendors set up their stalls. There was quite a selection of things to buy. It drew a pretty good crowd, too.


In the evening we went to our first Tango dance, or Milonga. It was held in a wonderful old building called the Confitia Ideal. The bottom floor has a restaurant and the top floor has a bar with a dance floor. We got to try out our tango in a real Milonga, in front of real Argentinian dancers.
