You met my friend, Pato in Tango, an Argentine Love Story, Chapter 5 Even Cowboys Dance Tango
Here’s Pato, aka Patricia Jacovella, best guide, Spanish teacher, girlfriend, and host of LivingYourSpanish.com. I shot Pato around San Antonio de Areco, her home. It’s Gaucho Central – oh, those three young gauchos loved posing for us.
From the top: Pato against the sangria-colored wall in her little cottage on Rivadavia; Pato thinking of what to order at Tragame Tierra (this is a Spanish saying that means “swallow me, Earth” that you say when you are desperate; “un trago” is also a drink); Pato in front of the original adobe that has re-opened as a pub popular with gauchos; Pato’s three adoring fans; Pato at a lunch spot in San Antonio on Arellano – lots of vintage photos; Pato at neighbor Liliani’s home, across the street from her.
Stay tuned for an upcoming video around San Antonio de Areco, which Pato and I are putting together. Check back in late March, 09.
All beautiful! Camille, I am loving your book. Reading it a second time as I make my beginner’s way through my first Milongas. But, it’s not too soon to say, I’ll see you in Buenos Aires!!!
Patricia, in NYC
