Señor Tango

Last night, the entire group went to a Tango show called Señor Tango. It was definitely a tourist spot, but also a very good show and dinner. We sat at 6 huge tables and our food was brought right away. I had the best salad I've had yet in BA, it was in a cracker/bread shell and had some kind of basil/oil dressing. Then we got to pick our meal: steak, chicken or fish. Kelsey and I always order one chicken and one steak to share, so we don't get stuck with something gross. However, the 3 or so times we've been out on group dinner, we both prefer the steak. So from now on we will only order steak. Then we had a disgusting dessert...It was supposed to be 3 flavors of ice cream and a little brownie, but it all tasted disgusting. The show started at around 10:30pm and began with real live horses and gauchos, not what I expected from a Tango show. Apparently, it began with a historical part of where Argentina came from. Then the show went on for 2 more hours. The dancing was very entertaining, especially the number where you could basically see all of the female dancers' butts :) They also had parts where someone would sing or the band would play and that wasn't as cool as the dancing. It ended fantastically with everyone on stage singing "Don't cry for me Argentina" in Spanish. By the time I got home, it was 1:30 am....a late night once again.

On Saturday, I leave for Chile for the Educational Field Trip. I am sooooo excited. It is supposed to be really nice and we are taking a cruise around the very southern tip of South America. We just got the itinerary yesterday and it looks really exciting. I'll be updating next when I get back from Chile.
