Tango, Steak and more!

I'm trying to catch up from the past few days, because I have a lot to share and we have to be back on the bus for our first company visit today in about 10 minutes.

Since Tuesday morning, we have stayed very busy and yesterday (Wednesday) was the first day of company visits (Kimberly Clark and AmCham), along with a tango show, lessons and -- of course -- a steak dinner. I'm adding some photos below from the past few days...



Steak. Enough said right there. This is lunch AND dinner, in portions that could feed a small family.

Last night's tango show was located at the Almacen, a historic landmark and famous site in Buenos Aires. Pictures from the show below!
We also had lessons before the show, I graduated and have the certificate to prove it. (Barely.)

The band during the show.
The group at dinner before the show. We worked up quite an appetite from the tango lessons!


La Boca, the colorful streets of Buenos Aires. I don't think you can take a bad photo in this area.

...And the lovely traffic. Think Wisconsin Avenue during rush hour, with drivers who do not believe in staying in their lanes.

AmCham visit and roundtable discussion was at the American Club in downtown Buenos Aires.

Walking back from the AmCham visit, you can see the Obelisk and just one half of the 12-lane road in BA.

Avenue de Julio. Do not cross, I repeat, do not cross when you have a "don't walk" sign. Common sense I know, so actually, don't even stand on the edge of the sidewalk. I sound like I live on a farm with that comment, but the drivers here are definitely crazy.

More to come!
