Viva Italia

kelly — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 03:06:42 +0000

Ah, Italy. You were so good to us! It was especially fun faking our way through Italian accents and eating all your delicious gelato. It’s quite possible that we stopped for gelato on every street corner that offered any. It’s also quite possible that we grew an extra pant size by the time we got home.

Lucky for us, we had some down time between our heavy performance schedule – in that time we were able to travel to the Italian Riviera and Florence! Mama mia, we saw some beautiful architecture – especially the towns that were built right into the mountains. How do they do that?

The grand finale of the tour was performing at the gorgeous Villa Serra. What a treat. And what beautiful sound! It felt like we were performing in a mini Hollywood Bowl. Italian-style.

By the way, thank you Babbaleo radio and Savona TV for having us on your stations! We had so much fun. Also, Mark, if you’re reading this, thank you for your undying love and support on the tour. And thank you for all the dessert you treated us to.

See you again soon, Italy!

Amor, Kelly

Enchantée, Paris!

Car Train Ship Plane, landing on our feet, we’ve….arrived in Paris!! Alive and un-pickpocketed, we are now in the city of romance, fine art, and CHEESE! Priorities people .

There’s something about Paris that puts it in it’s own category–nothing can really match the allure and magnetism of this city–it stands on it’s own, all twinkly and with it’s head held high (a little alliteration for ya!).

I think you would need about 6 months in Paris to really have a good look around, but we saw what we could in the time that we had. A few things we did….

Walked along the Seine River, skipped under the Eiffel Tower (truly skipped), ate a ton of cheese, bread, and ice cream, scoured tiny bookstores for one-of-a-kind reads, people-watched at corner cafes, witnessed a ‘baguette fight’ (people throwing baguettes at each other in the street–confusing yet entertaining), danced at the hottest nightclub on Champs-Élysées, attempted the language whilst receiving pitying glances from the locals, appreciated beautiful art, heard a lot of whistling (and it wasn’t people calling their dogs), had religious experiences in cathedrals, created a cover of Eleanor Rigby, celebrated the 4th of July (quietly), were accompanied by violin duets while walking through the subway, ate Pho in Chinatown (real thing), visited the Palace of Versailles, looked for Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor at the real Moulin Rouge (couldn’t find them–darn!), saw the best view of the city from the top of Sacré-Cœur, got all Amelie in Montmartre……

Oh, and did I mention we played an unforgettable, dreamlike, fantasy-come-true, fairytale style show at the Paris Louvre Apple Store? I didn’t? Well, we did that too . And it was (place synonym of ‘incredible’ here, and say it with passion!)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Couple things we learned:

‘French bread’ is just called ‘bread’ there, and ‘French kissing’ is just called ‘kissing’. Now you’re ready to go to Paris. You’re welcome!

C’est la vie, je t’aime, fromage, Kamille

Guten morgen, mein lieber!

This was a really special part of the tour for me because we got to visit where I was born and where I lived for the first years of my life! (Bad Tölz and Benediktbeuern.) Both places are so pretty and relatively untouched, which makes you feel like you’re really experiencing Germany and all her glory.

Unfortunately, I got sick almost as soon as we landed in Germany and had to overload myself with cough medicine on the day of our Apple store show. Luckily we have a friend who lives in Munich who was able to help me find the best of the best medicine. Thank you, Manuela! Our show was wonderful because of you.

Zürich. Oh my gosh. The CHOCOLATE! I think we each spent 100 swiss francs in this one chocolate store that was right across the street from the Apple store. We were buying and eating at the same time! So good, yet so destructive.

On a slightly different note, and because I don’t think you’ll see any of this in our tour footage, the train ride to Paris from Zürich was CRAZY! Everything about it was hectic – the luggage, the space available for sitting. Thank goodness the Apple store coordinator helped us with our luggage/instruments onto the train. I don’t know how we would have done it without him.

Oh, but the ride to Paris…..with butterflies in our stomaches. The beauty. That’s something we’ll never forget.

Chocolate, Kelly
