bliss
That I can stay in the same place is a fantastic feeling and such a relief. Even better because I'm now at the Hotel PanAmericano. This hotel has excellent facilities, a gym with stunningly inspiring views, wifi, lovely rooms and a special place in my heart resulting from the hospitality and great memories they provided last year. It’s central, near the Obelisk and an easy walk to some great tango schools such as the Ideal and Escuela Argentina de Tango at Gallerias Pacifico. It’s also close to popular shopping areas, Suipacha (where I plan to buy tango shoes) and Teatro Colón, It is a wonderfully baroque theatre from 1908 that hosts regular opera.

I've not had time to relax but really don't need to. I'm training regularly, working hard and am so far happy with the results. The culture here forces me to go more slowly than I would in the UK. While I found this frustrating at first, it's probably better in the long term.
My only regret is that sadly, after more than a week in Buenos Aires, even though I have visited most of the better tango schools and interviewed their teachers for research, there has been no time for lessons.
