The concert

I bought our tickets for the concert 2 months two months ago and had been anxiously waiting for the event. Two months of anticipation seemed like forever especially since I would be seeing my favorite singer. Well it was so worth the wait!! The concert was outdoors at the Fiera di Bergamo where 8000 people heard him sing for over two hours. This was part of his world tour to promote the album "Ali e Radici" - wings and roots. He sang many of my favorite songs and it was great fun to sing along, especially since it was in Italian. Rachel joined in too on those she knew, which will now be an indelible memory of our first concert together. We captured some of the concert on our phones and Rachel videoed part of it on her camera too. I definitely had a raspy voice and throat the next morning but it was well worth it. All in all, It was an awesome experience. Yesterday we drove to Torino to visit the university where Rachel hopes to attend a summer session in a few years. We picked up some information and then walked around the city for a few hours visiting the Duomo and the nearby archaeological park of Roman ruins at the Porta Paletina. We will be spending our last few days visiting family and taking small trips around the Bergamo area. A lot of people keep asking me if I'm ready to go home after almost two months. The answer is the title of Eros' album "Ali e Radici" and the verse that talks about not being able to pick between wings and roots.
