Diamonds on the Inside - August 28,2011

This was one of the busiest, and most memorable, days of the summer for me. It started off with me having to go into work for a couple of hours and then meeting up with Mai for an early birthday lunch at the Opus Hotel (thank you Mai!). I think the pictures of the food speak for themselves; everything was soooo good!

Heirloom Tomatoes

Fig Dessert

Mine! The cutest dessert I've ever seen!

Next, I met up with an Australian girl I had met in Charlottetown. I love playing tourguide! Narelle had a great time that day visiting Granville Island and Canada Place.

I guess I've been a fan of Ben Harper for about 7 years ago It all started when my friend , Jordan, got me the cd for my birthday. I looked at it and asked him "Who's this guy?" It turned out to be one of the best cds I've ever owned and, to this day, I still listen to it.

I missed out on going to see him perform when I was a broke student so I was really excited about going to this show, especially as it was an outdoor show and the weather was lovely.

This man has serious talent and he sings with so much passion. Since I'd only heard one or two of his albums prior to the concert I didn't know maybe 75% of the songs that he played but I enjoyed the show all the same. I was really glad that he played Diamonds on the Inside. He even did an impromptu rendition of Sexual Healing due to a request from the crowd.

Thus ended my fantastic day! Exhausting but definitely worth it!
