Hey Sweets,
Our tour through Latin America was a huge success! So many fans came to visit us. It was unbelievable! I'm glad that we've made a picture at the end of each show. Like this I get to keep a wonderful souvenir.
Each and every show was amazing. We even conquered new land; Paraguay. We were only 8 hours in Paraguay and had to take off again unfortunately, but we did have a bloody good time there! We've received many gifts, artwork and had lots of meet and greets.
In these three and a half weeks I flew 19 times, had 14 shows and one free day.
It was a sensational tour filled with air-conditioned (fridge temperature) planes, immigration forms, churrascarias, co operative and less co operative hotels and last but not least, zillions of devoted fans.
Thank you for making us feel so welcome and remember that the greatest gift you can give us is by coming to our shows and letting us sign your Epica CD's and cassettes, I've seen one in Brazil!).

ReplyDeleteSo nice seeing that you've got some brazilian nail polish! Some of them aren't as good as the ones you're used to use, but it's nice to try! Sorry my poor English!
ReplyDeleteI love the picture of you in front of the mirror, this instantly reminded me of the Evil Queen in Snow White speaking to her Mirror on the Wall - in a good way, though, and of course YOU would be fairest of them all in this story ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing!
Thank you for the great show in Porto Alegre!
ReplyDeleteWe hope you guys come back soon!
