After eleven years living, dancing, teaching tango, and writing in Buenos Aires, I came home to L.A. in 2014, where I'm reconstructing my life.

Christmas in Buenos Aires Redux






In case you missed it, no big deal, but for old time's sake, check out last year's post.

Too bad my camera was swiped, or I'd show you a picture of my new living Christmas tree! It's not a blue cedar (the poor thing died a couple of months ago after three years of trusty service), but some kind of fir that actually has a slight scent. And it's very beautiful, definitely not Charlie Brownish. And it may be the only real (not plastic) decorated tree in the whole city; well at least I haven't seen any others in four Christmases.

Cherie,
Merry Christmas. See you next November! Thinking of you and my other blog friends who are now real to me, and I am so grateful to have found these kindred spirits! Who knew that the technology could be so useful, and beneficial, to a non tech person.
Besos, and don't eat too many cookies. E

your tree appears to be a western red cedar...or a relative of the cedar family.
