Tengo Tango!

The title of my blog is my first spanish pun- for those of you who speak nadie, it means "I have tango!" Because, I went to a tango dance and dinner. Thus, I have it. The place we went served dinner, which was appetizers, drinks, a main course, and postre (dessert). There were two singers, one a man and a woman, and they always were singing about buenos aires...I feel like the pride people have living here outdoes anything in the US. People who were born and raised are called "porteños." Sort of exotic...I am a fan. My favorite picture here. I ALSO went and saw the black knight tonight...and it was basically the best thing I've seen in my life. Heath Ledger's last performance was indeed one to remember. 
In other news, I also visted "la museo de la ciudad" which was less of a museum than a toilet exhibit. Really, there were all sorts of toilets! There were old toilets, new toilets, painted toilets, holes in the ground. However, there was also a really old record player which we got to listen to. And that was neat. I had to miss class for it, and for a literal shit hole I would say that it wasn't worth it. We celebrated my friend Jacqlen's birthday the other night (sam birthday as my mom), and she picked out a very suave wine bar. So cool, right? Bla bla, no, but the IRONIC part of it all is that my mother's friend Jim visited her recently and he told my mom about this place that she absolutely had to go to. Turns out it's the same place! How ironic! I love it. AND I was going to take her there anyways. As of right now, I have no had dinner, because no one is home to cook, so an apple and a cereal bar will have to do.

Or I could always just go to the McDonald's across the street, although the thought is making me sort of nauseated. I guess Sunday night will be a night in, which I don't mind too much. There is a cafe right next to my house with wonderful postres, but I think I will have to pass on postre for ever. That's okay. Well, except for my host mom's bread pudding.
As far as al campo vs. la ciudad goes, there's some heavy drama! The president's husband is the past president, and also the current vice president. The congress was up all night voting, and when the last ballot was dropped it was his, and he voted against his wife for al campo. At about four in the morning I heard pots banging and people screaming and honking horns. Although I am not sure why I was so surprised...I hear that every night. School: took my midterm exam on friday and I think that it went quite well. Just one more week of intensive spanish, and then school starts for real! I am excited to meet the rest of the student in the university, and at least try to communicate with them. I felt like I had so much news, but now that I write this I realized I really only wanted to post pictures. 

One more: from the tango bar. Okay two...I fell in love with the accordian player. He was so cute!!
