This has been a birthday full of surprises! First there was Susan’s surprise arrival from Canada, and then there was the asado, a traditional Argentine barbecue.
I knew, of course, that we were having an asado at Cecilia’s house, but I had no idea about the surprise they had set up. Venetia told me to take my tango shoes and clothes because there was going to be some sort of photo shoot. Turned out that was not quite true! Cecilia and her family and Lina had all clubbed together to bring in a professional tango dancer and singer! There were six of us who dance tango, and the others were all in on the secret so they had brought their shoes. It was wonderful!
And beyond the dancing it was just a great party, with lots of my dear friends there to celebrate my big day. I couldn’t have asked for more. Venetia shot lots of video, as you’ll see below, and the album is the result of lots of cameras popping all afternoon.
Wow, looks like you had an amazing time…one to remember!
Absolutely!
Enjoyed the photos/videos of your multi day celebration. What a birthday party! Happy birthday again (pretend Iām singing).
Thanks Sharon – I hear you singing!
LOTS of surprises! How wonderful and being able to dance tango too – the icing on the cake! Glad it was so much fun and wish I could have been there too.
Yes, the tango was definitely the highlight, but the whole day was wonderful.
Amazing and unforgettable birthday party and much fun was had by all!
Yes, it was that, Venetia!

Hi Helen,
Sorry for the delay with this message but as you know we were busy travelling to the northern hemisphere.
I loved all your birthday pictures and videos, it certainly looks as if you had the perfect day, and the dancing and tango looked wonderful too.
