The first thing on my mom’s list was to see the World Famous
Tango in Buenos Aires. My dad on the other hand was ready to try out the Buenos
Aires steak. So come night time we headed to Siga la Vaca, which is one of the
famous all you can eat parillas in Buenos Aires. As always it lived up to the
hype and we had a great couple of hours diving into the monstrous salad bar and
then the vast assortment of meats. I think my dad and I managed to thoroughly
disgust my sister and mom with the amount of meat we consumed.
From Siga La Vaca we headed to the milonga Parakoultural.
This was the same milonga I took Erin too. It’s a regal milonga, with poished
dance floor and sharp looking dancers. However it is a little stiff and formal
and I don’t think everyone was blown away until the show started. In BA there
are milongas which are dance halls where anyone can dance and then tango shows
which is like going to a theatre to watch professional tango. However most
milongas like to do a tango show for about 20 minutes in the middle of the night.
The two dancers tonight were very interesting. The woman looked to be 7-8
months pregnant but she did not let that slow her down. They were amazing!! I
have never seen tango like that. The intricacies of their steps and the speed,
it was incredible. And how that woman was able to dance like that, being so
pregnant I have no idea.
Knowing that was the peak moment of the night we left as
soon as the show ended but are planning on visiting another less traditional
milonga tomorrow.
