I don't exactly know how, but these Candlelight Concerts by FEVER had been on my radar or in my algorithm for a while, but we're not really in a reasonable distance to go to one close to home, so this was the PERFECT opportunity and I love Queen and Collin really enjoys ABBA (and Queen), so this just seemed to make too much sense. I'm so glad it was the first thing I booked for this trip, it was gorgeous. My eyes were leaking it was so beautiful.
Both Abba and Queen's music is so intricate that hearing it from a stringed quartet was very impressive. I still haven't figured out if this concert series is a bunch of different musicians across the globe or the same ones that travel near and far... everything was in German, so I'm guessing it's a bunch of different musicians. I think one of my favorite parts was the reminder of how music brings people together - we (I - Collin understands a bit of German) didn't understand a word that was being said... okay, that's not exactly true either - I understood when they announced the title of the song and to applause, but people singing together and clapping and stomping and just really soaking up the moment was something special.

| This dress was my first maternity purchase, and let me tell you... when I pulled it out of the packaging material and it was MAYBE 6" wide, I just didn't know what I'd gotten myself into. Kind of fun to get dressed up and head out to a show though! |

| I can't help but wonder who lives in these beautiful houses... |
 |
| Who doesn't love an evening by beautiful candlelight?! |
 |
| I thought I was about to get busted for taking a photo of the art, but my friend Amanda and I went to the Chagall museum in Nice many moons ago and this painting made me smile bringing that memory to mind. |
 |
| I thought I'd be disappointed by the 'fake' candles, but the abundance of them seemed to make it work - it was absolutely lovely. |

| This view reminded me of a scene in Emily in Paris... |
