Europe Part 2

If I never said before, I came on the tour for the purpose of performing for my choir. So why not tell you guys things about the concerts. There were 5 in total in 5 different cities. Our first one was in Haarlem, in the Netherlands. It was a joint concert with a small girl choir, probably in high school. We ate dinner with them (even though they didn”t sit near me. We performed together and they hands down did better than us. The second concert was in Brugges. We did it alone so it was uneventful. Our third one was in Antwerp, and we sang with a “youth” choir. In Belgium, I guess youth may be different because there was a 36 year old? I’m not sure. We sang two songs with them and I really had fun at that concert. Our fourth one was in Rotterdam, and again, it was uneventful. Our last one was in Amsterdam. We sang with this British-Dutch choir who were youngee than us. I sung my first solo and kind of messed up, but it was ok. We didn’t get to meet the othee choir so it wasn’t that eventful.

Europe

From June 27-July 9, I traveled to two different countries in Europe, which were The Netherlands and Belgium. I spent 7 nights in The Netherlands and 4 nights in Belgium. We arrived in Amsterdam at around 6AM and from what I heard nobody got sleep on the plane. To make it worse, we wouldn’t be going to the hotel for at least another 12 hours. We took the bus from the airport to the countryside, and at that point everyone was asleep in the bus. We arrived at some windmills and walked around there. There was a lot of clogs in that same area outside of a store. After that we drove to a clog and chees factory and got told how they were made. We sampled some cheese there. Next, we went to a countryside town and ate lunch and walked around. I just had a fish soup because I wasn’t that hungry. We took a boat to a nearby island and walked around there for a short time. We finally drove to the hotel and stayed for a little while. We went to dinner at an Indonesian place and stayed there for around 2 hours. Then we just went to the hotel and slept.
