March 14, 201016 yr Author Right so a bit of backgroundness first. When the band announced the Latin American tour I was trying to decide which show to attend. When I started checking into flights and hotels I saw that I would have to enter Mexico through Mexico City so what the hey, might as well do all the Mexico shows. :P Thanks to some help from the lovely Pris, I was able to get tickets to all 4 Mexico shows for myself and Kirsten. Ian posted the story about Julie's daughter Ryan on the forum and I knew I just had to be a part of it. I contacted Julie, who I had met at the DC show and told her I really wanted the chance to get pics of the band with the Mini. She sent me the car and I started planning the best way to go about getting said pics. So Ryan's mini arrived in Texas and spent time hanging out with all my Coldplay stuff to help get the Karma flowing. I have a few Minis to help keep it company
March 14, 201016 yr Author We had indepth conversations about how lame DC United is and how Southampton Football Club and The Houston Dynamos rule! We did a warm up show the week before we left with Chris Martin BFF Jay Z
March 14, 201016 yr Author Finally March 4th, travel day. Flying out from Houston Intercontinental. Gate 8 .......hmmmm 42....4x2=8....yes it's a sign! Ok so I can make almost everything into a sign. :lol: Aeromexico is on time, for once.
March 14, 201016 yr *attentive to what Angie says* :wideeyed: Awww, sounds like a wonderful beggining of a story! :nice:
March 14, 201016 yr Author Arrived in Mexico City and grabbed a cab to the hotel. Now before I left friends at work told me about Mexico cabs. They all drive like psychos and you should just get in and close your eyes until you get to your destination. :laugh3: I decided to have a look around instead. I knew on the last tour the band had stayed at the Four Seasons and I was pretty sure they would stay there again. I arrived in one piece and asked the driver to pose with the mini. He didn't want to. I said if you want a tip, you'll pose with the car. He changed his mind. :lol:
March 14, 201016 yr Author Kirsten had already arrived at the hotel and had checked into our room, 508. We had a lovely view of the courtyard and, this is most important, a full view of the bar/cafe and of whom ever might be down there dining. :sneaky: The area to the left with the umbrella is the bar/cafe. The area at the far end is the restaurant.
March 14, 201016 yr Author Had a bit of a stroll around the neighborhood. The high altitude and pollution really did a number on my lungs. Sightseeing was cut short but we did see stuff near the hotel. The Diana Fountain El Angel Mini wanted to have a go at driving around them. Brave mini! There is a cute musical bench next to The Angel so we all had a rest there.
