GENERAL NEWS
SAVE this newsletter or the web address above. I am in Argentina, so next
newsletters may get spammed,etc. AOL often blocks me.
BUENOS AIRES NEWS - B. A. is the capital city of Argentina, and it is also
the name of a state in the country. Group tango classes here are US$8 for
one and one-half hours (but the airfare here is the problem!) Many men learn
to dance at age 10 from their fathers; saw some great performances done by
top pro couples - one female was eight mo. pregnant, but she still had the
fastest feet I've ever seen!
