Hillary,

Thanks for telling us about the article. The photos do contain familiar
faces for me.

This will give everyone a glimpse of a milonga if they haven't yet been to
BsAs. I'm going to tell these women about the photo on the Internet. They
will enjoying seeing it.

I checked, and who do I see in the pictures? Facundo Gallo in his "last
dance"before saying Goodbye to his girlfriend in BA. Indeed, it is the same
one: this very friendly, fun, young guy, without a trace of arrogance, who
ran a special milonga class at Luna de Tango's studio in Tokyo, and
participated in a special performance to Gotan Project music at one of our
grand milongas . I still remember the day, when my tango partner walked in
the door to meet me at Facundo's milonga class, and was greeted with loud
applause by all the ladies present, because at last here was an additional
man in the class. ; )
Facundo really was fun, esp. when I ran into him in a milonga one night, and
he danced with me. However, what the National Geographic quotes of him and
his great farewell, and a promise to his girlfriend in BA, I don't know...
Here he always told me and some other girls, that he knows how to say "I
love you" in at least six different languages...

Fond memories

This is so wonderful, and sad, for me to see, since I'm still not over
having to return from BsAs! This is a great article, with very
realistic photos and video. Yes, I recognize many faces - what a great
picture of Jorge, a great dancer and wonderful person!

I hear two groups are going to BsAs. from Minnesota next spring, and of
course I'm bringing another group in the fall!
