I've been thinking a lot about Argentina and all the wonderful influences
Astor Piazolla and the tango have had on us.

Wouldn't it be wonderful to fly to Buenos Aires and spend the evening in a tango bar?

If nature calls then you must travel to
Iguazu Falls where the sheer spectacle of so much water evidently makes Niagara pale in comparison.

For the bohemians we can hang out in caffes where the likes of Borges sipped strong espresso and wrote
The Labrynth or Cortazar wrote
Blow-Up and we got one of
Antonioni's gems.

Argentinian beef is supposed to be some of the best because of the pampas and the cows grass-fed diet. If you can't get to Argentina try
El Raigon restaurant in San Francisco. If you're vegetarian try the wild mushroom and leek risotto - if not, the epinadas.

What is it about the tango that makes it so dammed sexy? Once again I think of Wong Kar Wai's
Happy Together.
