Lorenzo El Famoso

We spent the afternoon in one of the parks in the city, it was hot and the children were getting on each others nerves. Lorenzo decided to break away from the family group and take a few moments alone on a park bench with only his music.

It was only about 2 minutes before he started to draw a crowd. we were watching from afar, resting in the shade of a nearby tree. Matt and I are no strangers to adoring fans, and so were quite prepared for what was about to happen. Only Lorenzo was not.

One minute he was just a boy sitting on a park bench, and the next he was, A BOY SITTING ON THE PARK BENCH!

The draw was obviously his light skin, light hair, and maybe his super cool sunglasses?. But he was totally and completely unprepared for the massive amounts of adoring fans wanting to take their picture with him. The entire experience lasted about 30 minutes, and the more people that came over, the more people that wondered what was going on and that of course drew more people.

It was hilarious, and Matt and I and his brothers and sister just watched the whole thing while laughing our heads off.

I think, really the funniest thing was that Lorenzo had a very difficult time understanding what they were saying, and just did not get what everyone wanted. He would glance our way every once in a while as if to say "HELP PLEASE", we just smiled and waved.

In the end I think he took about 25 pictures with complete strangers.

I guess sticking with the 'rents' is not such a bad idea!

Pasamos la tarde en uno de los parques de la ciudad, hacia calor y los ninos estaban hartos. Lorenzo decidio romper con el grupo familiar y tomar unos momentos solo en un banco de parque con su musica. Fue solo unos dos minutos antes de que empezo a atraer a una multitud. Estabamos mirando desde lejos, descansando en la sombra de un arbol cercano. Matt y yo no somos ajenos a admiradores =) y asi que fuimos mui bien preparados para lo que iba a suceder. Solo Lorenzo no lo estaba.

Un minuto el era un nino sentado en un banco del parque, y la siguiente era, UN NO SENTADO EN UN BANCO DEL PARQUE! La atraccion fue evidentemente su piel clara, su cabello claro y tal vez sus gafas de sol super guay! Pero el no estaba preparado para la masiva cantidad de admiradores que desearon una foto con el.

Toda la experiencia duro unos 30 minutos, y mas gente que se acerco, mas personas que se preguntaban que estaba pasando, y que por supuesto atrajo a mas personas.

Fue divertido, Matt, yo, sus hermanos y su hermana acabaron de ver todo, mientras riendose a carcajadas. Creo que realmente lo mas gracioso fue que Lorenzo tenia una comprension muy dificil de lo que decian, y simplemente no conseguio lo que todos queria. Miraba hacia nosotros de vez en cuando como diciendo, "SOCORRO POR FAVOR", pero solo sonriemos y saludemos.

Al final creo que Lorenzo tomo cerca de 25 fotos con desconocidos. supongo que quedarse con los padres a todo momento, no es una mala idea!
