Our memory fades overtime but some things stick no Our memory fades overtime but some things stick no matter what. I don't remember how I got this or who recorded it, but this ๐Ÿ’Ž resurfaced after ~6 years โ€“ lovely memory of dancing with a new friend visiting from Europe at a cozy house party hosted by an amazing host, filled with laughter, chatter & good food, in the heart of San Francisco. Years have gone by, and we've all gone through so much โ€“ heartbreak, friendship, marriage, parenthood, career change, building life in a new continent... But we connected - and we still are - because of this universal language of Tango, in one way or another. Take good care of yourself and each other, my friend, wherever you are โ€“ and I don't mean just geographically ๐Ÿ˜‰ โ€“ captured by the camera or not, I want you to know that you are in my thoughts. โ™ฅ๏ธ #argentinetango #tangoargentino #dancingislife #ThrowbackThursday #memories
