Those are famous tango lyrics, sung by my Argentine host father at a wonderful asado (Argentine bbq) a few nights ago. In one night, Matthew experienced his first true asado, some impromptu tango singing and also got to know José Luis, Laura and Marianela, my little Argentine sister. It was so wonderful to see them, as they are so welcoming and truly treat me as part of their family. The Spanish was flowing as well as the wine, and it was a great night overall. José Luis and Laura have friends who have contacts with some vineyards in Mendoza, and I just heard back from one of them saying that they were interested in having us come work there! We're going to Mendoza tonight on the bus, so I'll update once we know what the deal is.
For your enjoyment, a few photos from Buenos Aires.
Here we are at "La Flor Gigante."
This is Eva Peron's tomb in the Recoleta Cemetary.
