Preview: Daniel Trenner hosted a party at his apartment one afternoon, which lasted until eight at night. He has a huge rooftop terrace overlooking the beautiful cupolas of Buenos Aires, where we were treated to a three-piece Tango band for our dancing pleasure and a professional Tango show. The elite of the Tango world were present and politely asked many of us to dance; what a wonderful experience to be floating on a strategically located rooftop in the heart of one of the most beautiful cities in the world, being led by world famous dancers, to the music of the seductive Argentine Tango. My OH MY We talked, lived, and danced Tango for eleven days, and remained in Buenos Aires for a few extra days after our group left so we could do some sightseeing. We went to the mausoleum of Eva Peron, the famous antique and street fair in San Telmo, and, of course, we went to the city of Caminito, made famous by a song of the same name by the immortal singer, Carlos Gardel. We loved to Tango before we went to Argentina. We fell in love with it in Buenos Aires."
