So I had my first Argentinian Tango show experience last night. Not only was it FREE!!! But it was also an AERIAL Tango show. IT WAS WONDERFUL!!! Anyone who knows me well knows what a nerd I am when it comes to anything theatrical. Plays, Broadway shows, ballet, all of it I LOVE. This was no exception. Within seconds I was hooked. All I could do was stare with a giddy expression on my face. I was sitting in an outdoor amphitheater in Buenos Aires with a sky full of stars above me and an aerial tango show in front of me. I attempted to take some pictures but they of course do NOT do the show justice and the lighting and movement of the dancers made it difficult.
After that my friends wanted some Mexican food! YUM! We stumbled upon a place call Lupita’s and was delicious! Even I, who am super particular when it comes to my Mexican food, thought it was great! I did not see queso on the menu which is still a mild failure in my book, but the flavors were great and there was a sauce that was actually legitimately spicy!!! I will definitely have to go back there!
***I forgot the funniest part about the Mexican restaurant!! We sat down and started looking at the menu when 75% of the people at the table looked at me and said, “Devon, what’s a burrito?” I was stunned! “You don’t know what a burrito is?” So I told them:
“It’s a tortilla rolled up with stuff inside.”
“Oh, and enchiladas?”
“Tortillas with less stuff rolled up and cooked with sauce.”
“Ok, and quesadillas?”
“Tortillas with stuff inside but grilled and flat.”
…”Devon, what is a tortilla??”
I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT!!! It is always amusing trying to explain thing in Spanish to people from all over!
So what a night, a wonderful show and delicious Mexican food. What more could I ask for?!?!
**On top of that, we were at a kiosk today and there were PEZ dispensers, and my friend had NEVER seen PEZ before! Again, shocked! So I bought her a Tinkerbell one and she was like a 5 year old! LOVE IT!
