Came for wedding of Katie and Eze. She, Taiwan/Australian, he, Argentine. He the Tango dancer, she, the student. Four years later, this fabulous wedding. Theme was: Gaucho. They came to the civil ceremony at city hall in wonderful costumes. He was General Martinez while she was his demure consort.
The reception was on an estancia. BBQ, of course, mechanical bull, folk dancing show. To top it off, bride and groom blessed us with a Samba. She in a brocade dress with a Chinese bodice with a full skirt for dancing. He in Gaucho costume. Being foodies, we ate from then on. Many went on the honeymoon to Mendoza on a first class overnight bus. I woke up and thought the plane had hit some turbulence. Now I know what it is like to be in those flat airplane seats.
A friend of the couple is blind and, yes, he does Tango. Bravo.
There are roadside shrines to a folk hero-saint called, Gauchito Gil. Some are quite big in trees and some a small bit at the side of the road. He is likened to Europe's Robin Hood.
What a show our Katie and Eze put on. Congradulations.
