Duarte was her maiden name.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>After our city tour we had a bit of free time to shop. So for\u00a0three hours I ran around the finest shopping districts in Buenos Aires, desperately trying to find a suitable outfit for tonight&#8217;s farewell dinner and tango lesson. But alas, I failed in finding any sort of ensemble. I have never had so much difficulty finding womens clothing shops,\u00a0 but after careful observation it became quite apparent why.<\/p>\n<p>Argentina is full of good-looking, well-dressed men.<\/p>\n<p>I concluded my shopping complains after realizing this.<\/p>\n<p>Our evening consisted of a wonderful Argentinian Tango lesson, show and dinner.\u00a0 Thanks Argentina,\u00a0 now I have a burning desire to take up more tango lessons. Partly due to the factthat I love the music.<\/p>\n<p>Alas, all good things must come to an end, and so does this trip.
