Wonderful, wonderful StPetersburg!!!

First I have to say SPASIBA BOLSHOI!!! Again we had such a great time as guests of Maxim and Gala in their tango school Caminito in StPetersburg. Thank you for inviting us and taking such good care of us!!! And thank you Sasha for the formidable themes for the classes, Igor for letting us sleep among the Russian classics and antique philosophers, Alisa for the excellent translations in and outside the classes, Luba for the cakes and beauty, Volodja for driving us safely through the crazy traffic, and Vala for photos and being our raccoon. And thank you students for working so hard and with concentration!!! And next time I hope I can speak a bit more Russian... I have books now!!! Da svidanija, spakoinoi notshi!

COPENHAGEN TANGO FESTIVAL
For once, first time in a long long time, we decided to go to a festival just for fun. And my god it was worth it! When working with tango it is too easy to slip into working mode or just stay at home during the week-end when ever that is possible. No obligations, all you have to do is rememeber to eat and drink. Sleeping optional. Except that sleeping during a tango festival is luxury one seldom has a chance and therefore we tried that, too. It was weird... but definetily wonderful!
We met alot of old friends from the time when none of us were teachers yet. By coincidence for many of us this was the first festival in a long time we were able to attend without working there. We definetily have to do that more. All of us.
After all, that is why we do tango. Love for the art of tango music and dance. It is better to do it instead of talking about it...
