Remote Tango :: Windhoek, Nambia, Africa

Proof that tango exists (at least in someone's mind) in some very far corners of our blue marble. A Google hit today from someone in Windhoek, Namibia, Latitude -22.57, Longitude 17.0836 using the search string "tango quotes"...amazing...

This photo is also somewhat representative of my mental state just now - a heat stroke induced torpor (where the fuck do I come up with these words!?), emerging from my after work collapse called a nap, groggily not knowing what day it is...is it real? Or is it a dream?

Is this person a tango dancer? Do they live in Namibia? Is there tango being danced in Namibia? Or, is it someone on an adventure trip or safari, who is simply missing their tango? Did they forget the exact wording of a favorite tango quote? Did they just have to get online when they had internet access and do a search?

I wonder. I wonder from within my torporous stupor.
