Yesterday was much more of a lazy day - we headed to the San Telmo market to look at the antiques and furniture, and it was quite impressive, as you can see. The antiquities and furniture shops were packed full of really nice furniture and it was quite a revelation. It's only open on Saturday and Sunday for the market in the middle, but the architecture and 'serious' shops make it worth going there on other days as well.
In the afternoon, we just wandered through Palermo and bought all the wines for a wine tasting evening that we had planned to show how different foods matched with different wines, which was quite good fun. All of them Argentine, so it was nice to see how the Torrontes and Malbecs (typical Argentine wines) paired up with different types of food.
However, nothing was to prepare us for the show that was Senor Tango. One of the guide books said that it was the closest thing that we were going to get to a Las Vegas show in Buenos Aires, and that was certainly the truth. There were live horses, the Moulin Rouge version of 'Roxanne', Don't cry for me Argentina in Spanish and Senor Tango himself who did a large 40 minute set in the minute and chatted in Spanish to the crowd. Not so good for non Spanish speaking audience :-)
However the tango dancing was amazing, if a little short and so that made it all worth while! Judge from yourself from the website
