WHAT a day. The second I emerged from class, I was greeted by a frantic Leah. She told me that there were only a few John Mayer tickets left for tonight's show and we were GOING! We ran across the street to the internet cafe and bought four tickets...in the 12th row! We strolled through the British Museum and could not control our excitement. People must have thought we really loved ancient history. It was fascinating though. Staring at the Rosetta Stone was a nearly out-of-body experience. I've read about that since elementary school. To see it up close was just too much. After seeing much of the massive museum, we headed to Covent Gardens for an outdoor lunch because of the sunniness of the day. Lounged at the cafe and discussed what was sure to be the greatest nights of our lives.
We broke to get ready for our evenings and Lily and I set out for miles looking for an ATM, after a police officer and storekeeper misdirected us. The girls finally met up with us and we decided on the familiar for pre-John dinner and drinks...Fridays! We had great cocktails (a girl's night, if you will) and appetizers to enhance our experience all the more. Headed to Wembley Stadium and settled into our Row 12 seats!! We, of course, were surrounded by the weirdest lot of people. Photo-crazy lesbians, a strange Indian man who closely resembled Scar from Lion King and the lot who were unprepared for our singing along. Regardless, John was amazing in London and spoke candidly, jammed for long stretches and overall, showed just how talented he is. We deemed it one of our favorite nights and the perfect concert.
Love you, miss you xx
