I just wasn't sure where to find them. Now that I know you are one, and you know the other tango angels, I will surely be back.<BR/><BR/>Venice is such a uniquely beautiful place. And the people were so kind to me. I know I will be visit again someday. I still have more stories and pictures to share of Venice.<BR/><BR/>Do you know the man I danced with--Franco? He has wavy, grey hair and wears glasses. If so, please tell him that the American girl from San Francisco with dark hair and blue eyes sends him a big hug and kiss!<BR/><BR/>Grazie!tangobabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01288974184200212536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7254153824379805831.post-86109800091406162662007-10-31T13:15:00.000-07:002007-10-31T13:15:00.000-07:00Nuit,I will try to come to NY as soon as:1.

(I like that word!) I guess it's happened before, now that I think about it, but perhaps because he was so exuberant and happy that it made it more special on this occasion.<BR/><BR/>It was a very pure expression of happiness, and that's not something you encounter every day.tangobabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01288974184200212536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7254153824379805831.post-32424350723553130932007-10-30T10:02:00.000-07:002007-10-30T10:02:00.000-07:00Oh Nuit!

His heart was truly in it.<BR/><BR/>I would have loved to dance with Franco again. Or even to have said goodbye. That was why I wanted to go back to the basketball court again that night. He was the one who told me about it in the first place. I thought he was going to be there, but perhaps it was the language barrier and I didn't understand. Oh well, bittersweet endings in tango happen all the time, right?<BR/><BR/>At least now we can hope that we gave him some lovely tango memories that he will keep for a long time.<BR/><BR/>xotangobabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01288974184200212536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7254153824379805831.post-11327145560328709242007-10-30T07:53:00.000-07:002007-10-30T07:53:00.000-07:00Don't you just LOVE being an angel?
