AFTER THE CONGRESO:
Domingo 19th: l2 noon: San Telmo.-The city's oldest quarter, with
cobblestoned streets that still depict the charm of
the early 20 century. dont'miss a Sunday morning visit
to the flea market in
San Telmo Pedro square where you can
find antiques and
odds and ends from old Argentina.
The"tanguera"atmophere in Plaza Dorrego
and its outskirts that reproduce the
"bandoneon"rhythm.
Also Sunday, the architect's tour of some great buildings,
Cafe Tortoni, and at night the traditional milonga at Amalgro.
Lunes the 20th: l2 noon Recoleta. Represents art, elegance, leisure and
night life characteristics, popular with the elite gentry of the portenos.
It is named after the Convent of Recoletos
Fathers ongregation. The church "Our
Lady of Pilar," was inaugurated in l732,
and in the cemetary lie various national heroes. There is also the Museum of
Fine Arts, the Palais de Glace, and the Recoleta Cultural Center representing
the arts. There are sophisticated and beautiful restaurants, cafes and discos
in the Recoleta neighborhood, giving this area a polished and distinct flavor.
We visit Puerto Madero where in the 1980's a group of specialists
fulfilled their dream of recycling the port. During the last seven years the
project, "Puerto Madero", has been planned and is still in progress. The
result is a lovely center directly on the river, with epicurean restaurants,
italian ice cream shops, and offices, offering a rendezvous for business men
at lunch and friends in the evening for a typical dinner parrilla.

Subject: NA_E: Montreal Workshops, Special Events?
Hello Tango-A,
I'll be in Montreal on business from February 17 through 21st and I'm
wondering if there are any special events or workshops planned for these
dates? Also, I'd like to know if there are any Sunday afternoon milongas or
practicas?
Thanks very much,
