Today was an absolutely amazing day! We did all sorts of fun things but I'm only going to talk about one since I'm tired and it's late. So we're driving to dinner tonight and we see a really long line of people along the road. Then someone in the car said "I think there's an Enrique Iglesias concert tonight." We went to dinner and tossed around the idea of going. Chris called a friend and asked him how much the tickets were. When we found out how little they cost we immediately jumped on the idea. We drove to a parking lot and walked to find tickets. We bought some from scalpers who told us they were VIP tickets. Apparently VIP tickets are general admission, but at least they were real tickets. So we were in at the Enrique concert!!! Basically it was amazing! He sang in almost all Spanish, of course, but we sang the songs in English.
After an already amazing concert, his encore was "Hero" which he sang to a little girl who he pulled from the stage. She barely let go of him and in the end he kissed her on the lips. It was so cute. Then he continued and sang another song, but I can't remember what song it was because while he was singing, he jumped onto the fence that we were standing next to. There was so much pushing, shoving, and beer spilling. Jay managed to touch his knee cap, and I just happened to be holding on to Jay. I touched Enrique by proxy!!!! This is the best pic we got of him while he was within a foot of us.
It was amazing to be within a foot of Enrique, but unfortunately Chris' wallet was stolen in all the chaos. He had a good attitude about it though. At least Jay touched Enrique's knee cap!

Touching a knee cap is soooo much better then a sighting! What a lucky by proxy person you are!
Mel, the hotel looks really nice, the photos are great. I didn't know they had monkeys there! And one is a thief, ha! Do they have parrots too? I'm glad the Enrique Iglesias concert was so much fun. Did Chris get things straightened out so that he only lost some cash? What's the high temperature there and is it humid? We're in a record heat spell here, we tied a 97 degree record in Chl yesterday and are suppose to tie a 99 degree record today, Sunday. Are you getting to practice Spanish at all like with those kids who were looking through the fence at the blacksmith? ttyl, Love, Dad.
Melanie, what an outstanding experience! I hope you have many more Iglesias experiences before returning to WF. You are missing SO much (power outage, heat spell, numerous building projects, summer classes)! Thanks for sharing. Steve (aka Dr. Giles).
