On Monday morning, 17 May 2010, it was - much too early for us - get rid of. Our flight to Frankfurt has started in Munich at 6:05 clock and we had to drive off shortly after 4 clock with us. Helga had not slept the night 2 hours, since, under our course on Sunday and still had to pack their bags ready. In Frankfurt we had 3-hour stay, until at last began the flight to Buenos Aires. Luckily, the ash cloud had made no bar in the works! 
14 hours non-stop from Frankfurt to Buenos Aires are already quite a long time. By 19 clock local time we are then landed on time in Argentina without incident on the plane. We had has often Emergencies on the long haul! In Buenos Aires we expected at the airport our taxi driver Nestor and Henriette, who drove us to our apartment. Actually, we wanted to go dancing yet, but we were too broke after the last hectic days in Munich without adequate sleep. We live this time in a very nice apartment in Colegiales next to Palermo Hollywood. Near here in 2004 and 2005 we lived in a tango hotel.
on Tuesday was our first purchase a SIM card for the phone to be and since we were already in the vicinity of several shoe stores, where we have also looked around the same time. In sunshine and 24 ° C had We then enjoyed near the obelisk a coffee and rush past us can roam .... wonderful! 
evening we met with Oscar, Paola, Sofia and Franco to eat. Sofia even brought their dancing shoes, because they hoped we would all go after dinner for dancing. It was then but soon tired and fell asleep in the stroller from a Franco. Franco and his 1 1 / 2 years was against awake! After we had passed at 1.30 clock, we turned first to Porteño y bailarín to dance. It was surprisingly empty and at half past 3 almost all the dancers were gone. We drove back in our apartment - the first day in Buenos Aires now was already over. 
On Wednesday we visited the next shoe shops where I could not resist. Since last year, a new shoe store: Taconeando, which I'm thrilled. Here are the results after 2 days of Buenos Aires in some shoe stores. In the "La Nacional" there is some time since some milongas. We were there the last time in 2007 and shortly thereafter the Milonga was then closed for a long time. Meanwhile, there again, but some milongas established. Yesterday, we are certainly in the Milonga "Mi Refugio", organized driven by Atilio Veron. It was not full, but well attended. Some old friends we met there and Atilio welcomed us back warmly. Shortly after midnight
we then have changed to the "El Beso". Even there, it was not as full as we know it dates from the previous years. El Flaco Dani was also there. Meanwhile, he is concerned after his hip surgery better and can do this or that little dance again. But he is really fit yet! From 2 clock there was also noticeably empty and so we also made our way home. The 'end of the month' you realize the Portenos already in the middle of the month. You have to use their money to the end households of the month and can not therefore leave as much - if egeal in milongas, or to a restaurant for dinner. Admission prices to the milongas are about 20 pesos, which is enormous for the Portenos!
far we have always had luck with our taxi drivers: no one tried to walk with us down at night and everyone gave us the shortest way to our apartment.
