Tango and Malenga

This week, I have just had normal classes. I didn't actually realized that a lot of my days would be spent at Casa Pepperdine in a class room. The professors are ok. They come from the UCA, the catholic university here. Some are really boring, but I like my humanities 313 professor and my economics professor. It's cooled down a little bit this week, which has been nice. It is still warm, but with a nice breeze.

Last night, I meet up with my mom's cousin, Randy, who was down in Buenos Aires visiting. She took Kelsey and I to a Malenga (at least that's what i think it's called). It was a big dark room with tables around the edges and a dance floor in the middle. They offer Tango classes every night of the week, and then have a band play later on in the night. We came late, so just watched the class and waited for the music and more professional dancers to come. At one point, Randy and I tried to learn a little by ourselves and the teacher came and asked us if we had partners, we said no, and he tried to dance with me. This was my first tango experience, so I had no idea what the steps were. I just let him lead me and tried to follow my best. After a couple minutes, the music ended and we sat down. Randy finally asked someone what time the band was showing up for the more performance part of the night, we got the time wrong....1:30am was when it started and it was only 11. We decided to just go home after that.

I start my Tango classes with Pepperdine today. I'm really really excited. I just hope I get to dance with a partner. I don't know how they are going to handle having more guys that girls. We'll see. I'm trying to plan my spring break and easter break trips, Kelsey and I want to go to Machu Picchu for one and Patagonia for the other. Hopefully we can figure it out.

That's all for now!
