The tango dance originated in Argentina. The picture shows a typical Sunday evening scene at street corners of the San Telmo neighborhood of Buenos Aires, the Argentine capital. The performers sometimes pick partners from among spectators and give them a crash course in tango before forcing them to dance. The tango dance originated in Argentina.

Avenida 9 de Julio (July 9 Avenue), Buenos Aires. It is the widest avenue the author has seen in any city anywhere in the world. The obelisk in the middle is a city landmark.

The odd man in the picture is the author. He is enjoying a boat ride, off the coast of Rio de Janeiro, courtesy his Brazilian host. Others in the picture are the host’s wife and family friends. All of them, except the author, are getting ready for a swim in the blue waters of the Atlantic. Because the author doesn’t know how to swim, he has an excuse to keep his T-shirt on.
