It takes two to tango!

Back on board after our second day in Buenos Aries, and we're footsore ... not from tangoing (can you imagine John and I doing the tango?!), but from walking. Yesterday we walked around the city, watching people, admiring the shops, shopping for leather goods, eating empanadas for lunch, then headed for La Boca, a very colourful area in the poorer suburbs.
In La Camanita we spent 3/4 hour watching a delightful tango performance - two men looking so-o-o Argentinean (one with one eyebrow right across his face, the other super-super-smooth, with slicked down hair, moustache etc) and 2 very world-weary women. Could they dance! Wow! All it cost us for front-row seats was the price of a diet Coke.
After wandering the tourist shops we walked throught the back streets to a bus - past a street market, dozens of dogs, crawling babies ... and that was just on the road! The bus driver had no change so he gave us a free ride back to town - a terrific cheap afternoon.
Many people from the ship paid over $100 to see a tango performance in the city last night, but we hear that it was no better than what we saw - and those of us who stayed on board were treated to a superb Argentinean folkloric performance - the tango, lots of gaucho and caballero dancing, and what we at home think of as Andean music - fantastic, and free!
Today we went on a tour, 'In the steps of Evita' ... and it, too was terrific. We've really e4njoyed our time here - it's a really multi-layered city.
Thanks so much to Jim, David and Stephanie for updates on the situation at home - you're all in our thoughts as we set off for Montevideo, and then southwards.
