Maroon 5!

Wednesday, May 28th we went to a concert in town. It was a French DJ and the American group, Maroon 5. We got there and we were able to get a spot about 15 feet from the stage! That was awesome. Of course it was raining! So here we are…all 5 of us that went…plus bout 1000 of our closest friends J packed like sardines trying to protect ourselves from the rain that varied between a mist and Pouring. Of course, when you put up your umbrella, the closest 6 people push to get under that umbrella, which then causes you loose your footing and lurch in one direction…which THEN causes you to poke your neighbor in the eye with your umbrella and them to respond with some VERY angry French comment! Oops!

So, I thought I would share these pictures with you! It was really fun! And come to find out, instead of just cheering for an encore…the French sing! They have these little chanting songs that they also sing at soccer games that they sing to show they want an encore. So enjoy the pictures!





We had fun!
So for those of you who may not be familiar with French fashion...if you don't have an umbrella here, you simply fashion a hood out of a grocery sack!


There were SO many people there!




Katie just can't WAIT for the concert to start!
