Deby - It sounds as if the world has invaded your country, taken over the
milongas, and is feeding the economy into a frenzy, with all the growth
pains involved. I understand how much of a change that is for those of us
who visit Argentina.

In the US, we have had so much change - everything is different from just 2
years ago. Change is almost invisible to me now - nothing lasts for long,
so I don't really get too attached to anything tangible. My dance changes

>from month to month as newer moves replace the old.

The only constant things are my kids and the people I love, but they change,
too.

When the high-energy salon dancers of today become older, maybe they will
slow down, and the milonguero modest-paced passion of the dance may return.

I wonder, were the milongueros of today (say in their 60's, 70's and 80's)
more energetic when they were younger (i.e. in their 40's)?

Maybe we are cursing at the salon dancers not realizing that they are infact
on their way towards becoming milonguero dancers eventually. We may be all
on the same path, eventually.

Of course, we are.
