fancy food and dancing...maybe serious stuff next week?

OK..... this was the best meal yet... We went for a walk in a new direction from our house, and about 6 blocks away found a huge park that borders the river.... kids and dogs and families and soccer games and inline skaters.... picnics and kissing couples.... along the river there were hotdog carts and fancy restaurants. On the way home we found this fancy restaurant with a wonderful smell. We had a dinner waiting at home, but decided to eat here after seeing the two fire pits (one with lambs halved out on stakes and one with giant hunks of cow on spits). I usually eat half or less of a dinner out but this time i ate it ALL. You can see that they serve the meat on metal plates with glowing charcoal underneath it so the meat keeps on sizzling. I have never eaten so much meat in my life in one setting but i couldn't stop!















So with all that energy from straight protein right off the range, we went to the Belgrano Melonga community dance again... At first everyone was standing around frustrated due to the guy who brings the tape player and tapes being sick.... but a couple who had driven hooked up their car tape player to the speakers and the dance was able to go. I might try to film a short movie of the dancing, because stills just don't let you see all the amazing moves young and old folks make....

The outdoor dance gazebo here at Belgrano park is one of the oldest left in Buenos Aires and tango dancers come from all over each weekend for the Melongas..

This little girl would sing and dance around the restaurant, but whenever she saw me watching and smiling from an outside table, she would run and hide. Finally her grandfather came over to the table next to us and was able to get her to pose for a photo.
