Trip #2 Todo Buenos Aires, Argentina

Trips #2, November 16  to 24, 2010 includes:

• Eight nights in Dandi Royal, an exquisite tango-themed mansion in San Telmo barrio – near to everything.

• Welcome luncheon (on Monday, November 16) at Dandi.

• Eight breakfasts.

• Three scrumptious dinners featuring typical Argentine cuisine (which, despite what you’ve heard is NOT all grass-fed beef—omnivores and vegetarians both will feast well).

• Introductory lessons to tango—with Argentine teachers, who will help you feel comfortable dancing their favorite “folk” dance. Or just watch and enjoy the most sensual dance on earth (and take notes for writing about it—see below, writing workshop).

• Admission to three popular milongas (or tango dancing salons) — with me as your host to explain all the etiquette and culture–and introductions to local dancers.

• Meetings with Porteños, Buenos Aires natives who will talk to you about tango and their  beloved city (some are “famous” characters from my book – see next).

• A signed copy of my book, TANGO, AN ARGENTINE LOVE STORY (published by Seal Press, 2008).

• Option of two afternoon writing workshops with me OR take a Swashtya (dancing) yoga class OR another tango lesson. The two afternoon intensives of writing are to help anyone who has long wondered how to shape and craft a travel story from the many inspired recordings you make in your journal as you wander the globe.

• One guided day around Buenos Aires with me and a local. I’ll show you around, including my old barrios where I lived, wrote, and danced for the better part of three and a half years.

• Lots of free time to explore on your own – with handy customized printouts with info for getting around (easy in this city) to museums, cafes, restaurants, bookstores, barrios, shopping. I’ll offer all the consultation you need—based on my extensive experience living here.
