COMBINING BOB & SUMMER DAYS



Now that Bob's office has announced a series of dates in France and Spain as part of his forthcoming tour, and these are in June, I was thinking we'd have to move the dates of our Summer Days Weekends to another month. (I'm under no illusion that I can compete with Bob.)

But actually, for the weekend of Friday 25 to Sunday 27 of June, there's a way of combining two or three of Bob's French dates with a Summer Days. It would work like this:

Thursday 24th: Dylan concert in Barcelona.
Friday 25th: drive across the Pyrenees to our house in SouthWest France: the weekend starts here.
Saturday 26th: Summer Days Weekend continues.
Sunday 27th: leave here and drive the leisurely three hours to Carcassonne in plenty of time for:
Monday 28th: Dylan concert in Carcassonne
Tuesday 29th: Dylan concert in Bordeaux.

(It's also easy to travel by train from Barcelona to Tarbes (near us), and from there to Carcassonne and from there to Bordeaux.)

Dylan's full list of tour dates is this:

May 29th, Terra Vibe Park, Athens
May 31st, Harbiye Cemil Topuzlu Amphitheatre, Istanbul
June 2nd, Iolanda Balas Stadium, Bucharest, Romania
