Today is mostly a travel day for us. We are heading into Germany to meet our host families in Esslingen. We stopped for lunch in Nuremberg. Nothing like standing having bratwurst in the middle of the main square with the Saturday market all around you!
Our First Day Dinner
We had a fantastic time tonight experiencing Czech food, song and dance!
Day of the Walking Dead
Today is the day I affectionately call “Day of the Walking Dead”. It is always an overnight flight when we fly to somewhere in Europe for a choir tour, and as a result we are supposed to sleep on the flight. Some people manage to get a little bit of sleep, but there are many of us who do not get any at all! So as I write this a number of the people are going on to about hour 28 right now without sleep! We always schedule a long (4 hours today) walking tour on this first day, to keep people going until it’s bedtime over here. It helps us to get turned around to this time zone and then the rest of the tour goes really well.
Prague is absolutely beautiful! My favourite comment today was when Catherine said, “What do you mean you’re tired? This is just so beautiful!” Some of the kids actually saw the sites I’m sending you in the photos, but others were a bit more like zombies, walking through the streets and wishing for their beds at the hotel. Day of the Walking Dead!
Arrived in Prague!

Spring Concert
At our spring concert we took a choir photo to send over to Germany to advertise our concert over there.
