Next Practice Blog

Here's a shot of Susanne on the bus.  In the background you can see the sign for Pont Sully, the bridge where I took the night shot of the rear of Notre Dame.  We are heading to the left bank, don't remember what for.


Over the years we have seen major improvements in the bus riding experience.  Thanks to
GPS, the bus stop posts how soon the next bus will arrive.  And an electronic sign in the bus give you a visual on the prochaine arret, the next stop in case the audio announcement goes too fast.


Last year I posted a blog about our evening at the Illegal Milonga in front of Musee d'Orsay.  It's illegal in that it's held on government property without a permit. If the authorities show up, everyone just leaves.  Sort of a "small harm, no foul" situation.

The time/place info is spread at the last minute via email & TM.  BTW, they've now gone legit in the sense that they're now on the Paris tango website.

Anyhow, while we were there we were there, a lady videographer did a vid of the milonga & interviewed us.  The vid was uploaded to YouTube weeks after we returned to Scottsdale.  It wasn't until recently that I realized I never posted it.  
 
It's somewhat dark because it was dusk, around 8PM.  We appear starting at 0:40.  If it's not clickable, just copy/paste it into your browser.
