the two of us, U2 and 90,000 people

Our first date since we moved to Brazil and it was sweet! What a fun experience. Not only did we get to see U2 but we also experienced a crowd of 90,000 people. We decided to skip dinner and go straight to the stadium. Not knowing what to expect with a crowd that big. Sao Paulo really could use a Larry H. Miller. All they had to snack on were chips and some scary pre-packaged sandwiches. We had a few bags of Doritos and some Del Valle juice for dinner. We sat for about 3 hours people watching when finally the opening act came out. A band called Muse. The first few songs were good but then they started screaming and it all went down hill from there. I was ready for some U2. They did not disappoint. Between the crowd and U2 it was an amazing experience!


We only live a few miles from the stadium and since we couldn't find a taxi we ended up walking most of the way home. We came home to a quite house and great news that the kids were wonderful for our babysitters, Steph and Mckay. We really had a great time.
