Nice that it's only 2 blocks to Plaza Dorrego - and Gene decided he was feeling much much better - enough better in fact that he wanted to walk up to the plaza and enjoy some empanadas and watch the tango dancers. Once all the antique dealers fold up their booths on Sunday evening, the music starts and everybody starts dancing. Amazing. Actually at one point, there was a tango band, another band, and a guitar player - all in different corners of the plaza but clearly audible to us. Confusing? Well, yeah, a little! But a lot of fun. I was desperately trying to get close enough to get photos of the dancers' feet. Dancing with a gorgeous woman wearing those gorgeous 4" - bright red no less - was a guy dancing in flip flops! A couple of other people were trying to dance in sneakers. We even saw one guy dancing in hiking boots. There are always great scenes in the plaza! Sad that this was our last Sunday here. We've enjoyed it.
"The flight to Buenos Aires has a layover in Lima, Peru," he says. "Peru. How interesting. So we should stop off in Peru for a few weeks, yes?" "Sounds right to me. November 12th OK with you?"

The Travel Plan
A few weeks in Peru, 1st in the capital, Lima, then in Trujillo, the 3rd largest city, said to be a beautiful colonial city. Will also visit nearby oceanside village of Huanchaco. Then onward to Argentina, where we will spend most of our time in Buenos Aires, with side trips to Iguazu, the world's largest water falls, as well as to Montevideo, in Uruguay.
