Day 2: Candlelight Concert Queen vs. ABBA (2/7/2026)

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...
