Viva Los Gipsy Kings

We had a blast last night at the Gipsy Kings concert with our friends Bill and Julie. I never realized there were TEN Gipsy Kings - That's a whole lot of guitarists.

Wolftrap is an outdoor concert venue and lawn seats are the way to go. We were a little suprised though, when the doors opened and people went **running** to fetch their spot on the lawn. We ended up with a perfect view and immediately set up our feast. That's the great thing about Wolftrap, you can picnic and bring whatever you like. So we dined on bread and cheese and hummus and tapenade and olives and mushrooms and stuffed grape leaves and goat cheese and fig spread and well, you get the picture. We brought a bottle of my dad's wine to share and just relaxed, that is, until it was time to start dancing. The Gipsy Kings played most of our favorite songs and of course, they talked to the audience en espaƱol.

The only disappointment of the evening was the short encore. It was only ONE song. Come on now, Gipsy Kings.

We can't wait to go back to Wolftrap for more concerts.
When Bill & Julie went to Hong Kong they noticed *everyone* did the peace sign in all their photos - even in all Bill's cousin's wedding photos. Here they are with their Hong Kong photo poses:Okay, so we got a little goofy toward the end of the night.
