Finland & The Beginning of Mexico!

Last week we ended our European tour. We went to Senajoki and Kouvola, two smaller cities in Finland. It was definitely a different culture than the rest of Europe. I stayed with a fellow band member in Senajoki, and we collaborated on a song during our week together. We also treated our host family to a little jam session. Also everyone in Finland has a sauna in their house, and they are AWESOME. It feels so good after a long day to go sweat it out. During the last 2 days of our tour, I stayed with my mom's castmate in Helsinki. It was so cool to have a full circle moment again :-)

Early Monday morning, we flew to Mexico. After a 20 hour travel day we arrived in Mexico City. What a place! So different from anything I've experienced so far. The people are so welcoming and friendly, its so warm! The crowds are different from anything I've performed for. For the most part, our audiences have been more like a theater audience. In Mexico, I feel like I' in a concert. There is endless cheering, and everyone wants a high five, or a picture or autograph. It's insane. I'm excited to do the show for the first time in a while.
Next week we go to Aguascalientes, a city about 5 hours away. Wifi may be spotty, but I will update when I can. Until then. stay cool yo.
