Another airport - Munich

We're in stage three of our trip to Nîmes, France - connecting flight from Milan to Marseilles. Somehow, we managed to escape the supposed three hour strike by Lufthansa employees, which would have made our trip even longer. We have this flight, here at Terminal 2, Gate 67, then an hour and change drive to Nîmes. Tonight's show is at the Arene in the center of town, an actual Roman Coliseum, in better condition than the one in Rome. It holds over 10,000 people, potentially the largest crowd we have ever performed in front of. Should be an exciting night.

Obviously, a little catch up is necessary. The past few days have been busy, from venue to hotel, to airport, to hotel, etc. The Peace and Love Festival in Sweden went well; we barely got any sleep that night due to the early dawn of the Scandinavias, and the ongoing jet lag. There are new pics at the Flickr site to check out. There is still Milan to upload, but there are quite a few photos from our journey in Sweden.

From Arlandastan, Sweden, we flew to Milan, Italy; took two flights to there. That night's dinner was the first real meal we had had since we left the US. Not to say that the food we were given in Sweden was bad, but getting a real Italian meal tends to overshadow anything digested in the last 48 hours. It was cool place down the street - we all got pasta and pizzas, which satiated our appetites.

Monday was mostly press for Nicole; lots of interviews, all went well. There was a trio performance for Radio Monte Carlo in the late afternoon. Otherwise, there was some free time to walk around the city. Tom and I got up early, and went to the Duomo. Quite magnificent. I walked around a bit more, until I got tired, then headed to the hotel for a nap.

Later that night, our host, Bruno, gave us an amazing meal at a newly opened Sicilian restaurant that was absolutely incredible. Everything was fresh, perfect portions, just a fantastic meal. We stumbled back to the hotel, happy to be alive, even though the wake up call was for 4AM the next morning.

Now, here in Munich, we await our boarding call. Off to Arene!
