Well after showing my mom the classic milonga last night,
she wanted to see the nonconventional Catedral Milonga that she had read about
in my blog a long time ago. So after dinner we headed to La Catedral. It’s a
dark, one of a kind milonga that was created in an abandoned warehouse in the
heart of Buenos Aires. It is very popular with the youth in the city and
Tuesday nights in particular are quite good.
My whole family
liked this quite a bit more than the parakoultural milonga from last night,
especially my sister who last night was wondering why anyone would want to
tango but tonight informed me that she “Got it. Well at least more than last
night”.
A very weird
coincidence, we ran into all the English guys at La Catedral. I think this was
there first time in a milonga and as Sam said “Of all the tango joints, in all
the cities in the world…” and while the Casablanca run in might have been a bit
more of a coincidence, Buenos Aires has over a hundred milongas and it was
really random running into all of them at this random one, especially when
neither they nor I frequent milongas.
