JULY 22, 6,30AM
I saw Neil Young was going to being touring in Europe at the same time I was. I put several of the tour dates for France and Italy on my Google calendar. So Google reminded me 2 weeks before the show in Nimes, I was still in Spain, I looked on the map and figured I could ride there in time for the show.
I rode from Colera, Spain to Sete, France. I rode some of the most beautiful roads and mistakenly rode some of the most dangerous roads Ive EVER ridden. I stayed in a Hostel in Sete a couple days then took the train to Nimes a few days before the show. I went to the box office and secured one of the last 100 tickets that were left.
I was walking to the show (long way from Hostel) tried to hitchhike, Nope. Met a women, Jo who lived in France near the border by Colera. She traded her ticket for a standing floor ticket so we could see the show together.

THE STADUIM IS AMAZING

INSIDE THE STADIUM
Patty Smith was the opening band.

SHE WAS GOOD BUT IT WAS ALL ABOUT NEIL YOUNG

I suggested to the guy in front of me to take a photo like this one, he took one without his hat, but the hat worked better.
