Talking to Don Quixote
On
the flea market in Buenos Aires I came across the lovely statuette of Don
Quijote. The flea markets and antique shops of the Argentinean capital are a
treasure trove. I dedicated a whole chapter of my little guide book on the city
of tango to the Sunday pastime of hunting and gathering so much cherished by
the Porteños.

My Don
Quijote is reading a book which makes him dear to me. I like to talk to him. As
he insists on my addressing him in Spanish he became my Spanish teacher. He is
a proud man. I best wear something Spanish during our encounters. I do hope the
modern twist of my outfit from skunkfunk
will not annoy him. If it does I shall have to change into a period dress like
the beautiful ladies on Argentinean National day.
