BACK TO MY BUENOS AIRES WITH MARCONE!!! - Buenos Aires

IT IS ALWAYS AN UNIVERSAL ORGASM TO BE HERE

Mi Buenos Aires.....hoy que la suerte quiere que te vuelva a ver...ciudad porteñna de mi unico querer...oigo la queja de un bandoneon, dentro del pecho pide rienda al corazón.....MI BUENOS AIRES QUERIDO...CUANDO YO TE VUELVA A VER...NO HABRÁ MAS PENAS NI OLVIDO!!!!!

Well, these are very old words expressing the huge love a tango's author has for this incredible metropolitan south american city...

And I can tell you, I love this place exactly in the way, this tango says...

The fate wants me to see you again...harbour city, land of my love (well, my love is from Brazil, hehee )...I listening the sorrows of the bandoneon, asking my heart to stop resisting....MY DEAR BUENOS AIRES, WHEN I SEE YOU AGAIN, THERE WILL BE NO SADNESS AND REGRETS....

This is what the TANGO SAYS...

The city breaths tango, you can hear it in the corners of the streets, you can hea the sweet sounds of bandoneon even in the suburban train, and when you do it, please give a coin or anything you can to the man who is plaing, because he is using PURE ART to survive...

The city keeps its charming european soul with the facilities of a first orld city...THIS IS BUENOS AIRES....

I am overjoyed to be back to this vibrant city, full of history, full of beautiful people, full of hope to build a eficient and everlasting future....

I am back to a city which used to give me lots of happiness, I have been here many times and there is always something new to see and do...

Back to MY EMPANADAS, back to my MATE AMARGO in the end of the day, back to my HOME in Argentina...

Here I have my friends...here I have part of my life....

As usual I dive through the heart and the soul of this european city in South America and Graciela was trying to teach me some complicated steps of Tango, and I could turn back time when local people went to the harbour and perform their dances, and for sure right in the streets of Caminito, I had one of the happiest moment in my life!

Just to change a little...this is one of my pleasant cities, in Buenos Aires I always meet with happiness!;)

I wish my love is here....but wherever I am I will always have such a special person to inspire my love!!!!

BUENOS AIRES AND ME

Rafael in the Delta of Tigre - their little Venezi

It is very hard for me to talk about Buenos Aires....The word "love" would be too small to describe everything I feel for this spectacular town...Buenos Aires is the simple answer for those who could ask how Argentina looks like...a country with a big variety of natural beauties, with dramatic high mountains, with incredible sparkling blue lakes, with a endless fields of Pampa, a country with woonderful people from many different coultures, should deserve a fantastic, vibrant, charming and so pleasant capital as BUENOS AIRES....

I am brazilian, from Rio de Janeiro as everybody knows...And all the countries have been I have heard the big big mistake that people tell, some think that the capital of BRAZIL is Buenos Aires...Ummmmm too bad people are wrong, but getting to know Buenos Aires like I do know, i strongly wish our capital could be so multicultural, so different, so deeply involved with green and classical architecture, and I wish our capital could provide so much culture and knowledge for its citizens....

Sorry Brasilia, but you are not like this...though I am very grateful to have Brasilia as the capital of my country, we developed a big portion of our countryside, and it was important...But Brasilia is just the capital of my beloved country. In my humble opinion Buenos Aires is REALLY THE CAPITAL OF SOUTH AMERICA!

Right here I wish to register my big love for this town, right here I want everybody to know that Buenos Aires is a dear part of my life!

Pros and Cons

Pros:The cheapest way to be in Europe being in South America
Cons:It is hard to leave the city, BA is simply gorgeous!
In a nutshell:GARDEL CADA DIA CANTA MEJOR!!!
