Tour Diary South America 3 - Travel Party of Two

Hello dears and sirs,

Today was a travel day. So what’s there to say about those? Well, one gets up in the morning and starts the day reminiscing about last nights show. I can’t do much else than smile and feel blessed by our gig in Santiago de Chile. What a crowd! If you know the Chileans a little bit, you would know that asking them to sit still for 3 hours (because that’s the length of an average Annie Danny show) is a lot to ask. No jumping, no shouting during a song, no speeding up the tempo of a song by clapping their hands… They were fantastic! And sweet. They sung all the songs with us, really quietly and the sound of that from the stage was just ever so special. They can all sing! So I asked all 1000 if they would like to go on tour with us, we’ll put them on stage with us and they can sing harmonies. Good idea.. Think of all the plane tickets. ☺ We had a great time.

Okay, the next thing one does on a travel day is of course take as much time possible to shower and repack ones bag so usually one goes to have breakfast 10 minutes before the buffet closes, shoves 2 croissants, a plate of scrambled eggs with cheese, a cup of camomile tea and an apple down and runs upstairs again to get the bags and get going. Then check in, hop on the plane and relax again.

When we arrived in Buenos Aires, Argentina we were picked up by our good friends Ariel and Javier, who brought us to the hotel. We had a nice dinner and a chat and then I went upstairs again for a good night of solid, refreshing sleep because tomorrow we play two shows in one day! And we are looking forward to it! But before closing my eyes, of course I scribble a few words in my dear diary to keep you all posted.

In the mean time, Rob and Jacques; husband, friend and members of Agua de Annique, are on their own tour with the great John Garcia of Kyuss. They are sailing trough Europe playing sold out gigs and having good fun. We keep each other posted of our adventures and though I miss my little family being together, I am so proud and happy we both enjoy playing music in beautiful places every now and again.

On another note, I have been brushing up on my Blockbuster movies on my plane trips. Ladies, have you seen the new Sherlock Holmes with Robert Downey jr.? Oh la la, boy oh boy, need I say more??

Nighty night! X An
