today is Argentina's 200th birthday!! (Independence Day) ...Central Market in Texas did a 2 week celebration by adding some traditional Argentine food to their menu (which by the way was NOT nearly as good as the real thing - obvio!), wine tasting, Argentine cooking classes and some tango dancing and lessons. the 3 of us went out last weekend and it was actually pretty disappointing - there's no party like an Argentine party...in Argentina. this one didn't even compare. but it was fun to go out and proudly sport our blue and white! ...actually, we went to Costco first and met 2 Argentines who work there! they approached us because of our jerseys and kyle even exchanged numbers with a guy so that they can play truco!!!!!!!!!!
look how excited Sierra is to be wearing the jersey her tias in Argentina bought her!! ...i forgot her bloomers so please excuse the uncensored photo. ...also, you can't tell because she's sitting, but she is wearing a white mini skirt :)
just another Argentine family all dressed alike...oh wait, we were the only ones! haha!
watching the tango lesson - it was very hot out in that tent....we didn't stay long
the parilla in the parking lot! ...but all we tried were the empanadas and a tarta
...yes, Sierra is wearing pink alpargatas!!!!!!!!
oh, how we miss our friends and the Argentine culture!!! te extranamos y te amamos, Argentina! we can't wait for our visit later this year!!!!!
Los estamos esperando!!!
