Amado encuentro in Baden, Austria

We started our adventure in Baden - we flew to Frankfurt, connected to Vienna, and took a quick train to Baden. We checked in to our hotel, which was in a historic villa, very cute and filled with memorabilia. But when we got to our room, we were immediately met with hot air, being circulated by the ceiling fan. We unsuccessfully looked for an air conditioner, and upon further inquiry, the receptionist confirmed that indeed, the ceiling fan was all the AC we were going to get, despite the weekend being a toasty high 80s F. Who would have even thought to check in advance if the hotel had an AC? The things we take for granted in our amazing country 🇺🇸! But the weekend still turned out very nice, with some very lovely dancing, good tango music, and food, despite the heat ?including in the tango ballroom, which had an AC, but not strong enough.

As usual during the encuentros, I didn’t take any pictures, and the only outing was few wonderful hours spent in the adjacent to the hotel thermal spa with various saunas. On the last evening on Sunday, milonga finished early and we went for a nice dinner in a beautiful terrace, where we had our first (by far, not the last!) Weiner schnitzel. We learned that if schnitzel is called Weiner, than by law it can only be veal.Read more
