One Man’s Walk through life

I’m coming back!!!

After 5 months in South America, I have a ticket to come back on Wednesday.

On one hand I am really, really going to miss South America, and most of all Buenos Aires. The reason I came to this city was tango, and, of course, I’m just starting to really enjoy it now right before I leave. Last night I was out at a milonga dancing tango till it closed at 6AM. And I got some compliments from girls that I would have sworn I had no business dancing with. I closed the night dancing 3 tandas (tango comes in sets of 7 songs here, and you usually dance one set, or tanda, with the same girl) with a gorgeous contemporary dancer from England. Tango is fun, really, really fun.

On the other hand I can’t wait to get back. I’ve missed swing, my family and my friends terribly. Travelling alone in another continent is an interesting endeavour but it definitely gets lonely at times, it’s going to be good to come back and be bathed in love. And I will be :).

I come back to San Francisco and go to the 920 Special, probably my favorite swing night…in the world. After which a couple of my friends are throwing a blues after party in my honor, YEAH Then I go up to Portland with Erin to witness Shira’s wedding and visit some friends there. I’ll spend a couple weeks at home with the family in El Paso doing some much needed chilling and bonding before people.MihaiBanulescu and Chealsea come pick me up to go RoadtrippingTheStates for a month and a half. We’re going to hit 4 or 5 [LindyExchange]s including Austin, Chicago, St. Louis, New York, Orlando. I’ll get to see and hang out with hundreds of my very closest friends, and make up for 5 months of no swing.

So if you live in South America, un abrazo y un beso, you have been wonderful, and I will miss you terribly

And if you live in the states, I can’t wait to see you, and if you dance…Jeremy is BACK
