My Paris trip - day 2

On Friday morning we woke up early to beat the rush hour on our way to Paris, which worked out mostly. The ride was pleasant, as there's always a lot to see around the French highways, so I had a good time.

Around 11 AM we arrived at Saint Denis, which was the area where both our hotel, as well as the Stade De France, where we were going to see Madonna's Sticky & Sweet Tour again, are situated. The hotel was good, so after unpacking we went to take a look at the stadium. As it turns out: it's huge. I suppose it's the biggest venue I've ever seen Madonna, but it's pretty impressive nonetheless. Of course, nothing can ever beat seeing Madonna at Bercy Paris, but this was a good alternative.

In the afternoon, we went to visit the grave of Jim Morrison and then walked to Madonna's hotel. There was quite a crowd gathered outside, but not large enough to think Madonna would actually arrive anytime soon, so we went out for dinner instead.

After a nice dinner we went back to Madonna's hotel and waited for about 20 minutes. By now, the crowd was huge, so we suspected Madonna would show up soon. Alas, after 20 minutes the hotel security took away the barricades and told us Madonna wasn't coming today after all.

Oh well, we went back to the hotel, took a nice beer, and went to sleep.
