It was Friday night in Montpellier, and the girls and I went out for a stroll about town hoping to pop into a discotheque or grab a dessert and coffee on the main square, but instead we happened to find ourselves as part of a historic event. That's right. You guessed it. The Michael Jackson memorial celebration. I must say that we were not as upset as some of the other attendees (see photo) but we were given golden candles and were swept up in the moment. In fact, we soon were chanting "Michael, Michael, Michael!" along with the mob. We sang "We are the World" "Billie Jean" and "Thriller." The fun thing about singing with the French is that the words are pronounced like this: "beelee jeen eez nut my luv-air." We also showed off our mad dancing skills. No one was actually able to do a split and stupidly, no one had brought a white glove with them, so we attempted the moonwalk. It didn't go so well. (see video) Our first weekend out in France was certainly memorable and not at all what we expected!
