Light the Fires

Hey guys I know it's been a few days. Just been traveling between London and Spain and finally sat down to write a post. We are in Barcelona right now but what my post is going to be about is the Leeds Olympic torch relay festival. As soon as we landed in London it pretty much rained the whole time but a day before the festival it let up a little and we had our fingers crossed that it would be the same way for the festival. Well we got lucky and it was so sunny even a little warm compared to what we had gotten used to. The main reason we went to the festival was for a band I wanted to see called Friendly Fires ( thanks Molly for introducing me to them last year !) So we arrive at 1 and bands didn't start playing till 3. The lineup was Little Comets, Tribe, and Friendly Fires. We slowly make our way to the front on the stage thanks to my persistence and Eugene's braveness . One thing we were not expecting to see was the Olympic torch be ran trough Leeds. That was definitely a once in a life time experience for us and we were so excited to be there for it. After that Friendly Fires preformed and they were amazing and I converted two new fans( Sara and Eugene)! As always here are some pictures below from that day. Thanks for reading and be prepared for one about Barcelona next.
