The dancer is attached to his shoes and he would pretend to tango with her and entertain the crowd...with a hat to put donations in of course.	22 In San Telmo...The statue on this building represents the immorality of the times. He has a Bible in one hand, a heater beside him and the Obelisk behind him. There is also a beer but it is only significant because its advertising the bar beneath.
