Friday Pt. 2

After a wonderful morning tour we had our second formal concert at St. Nicholas Cathedral in the heart of Old Town Prague. The concert pleased all in attendance and was a perfect ending to a fabulous tour of Prague and Vienna. After the successful concert we spent the afternoon shopping and eating in the open air Easter market in the square. We indulged in Czech pastries, sausages, wine, beer, and other traditional snacks. Many of us also bought trinkets for family and friends back home and something special to remind us of this fantastic trip. Marionettes, jewelry, and postcards were popular gifts. After a long and enjoyable stay here in beautiful Prague we went out for a delicious traditional Czech dinner in the hills of Prague at the Restaurant Svarty. We indulged in Becherovka, salad pork, ham, salad, gingerbread cake, and coffee. We all had a very enjoyable trip and it couldn’t have been possible without the help of some very important people. The hard work of the executive board for their hard work in putting together this trip. Our local tour guides and of course our World Culture Tour guide Andreas Brecht. Above all we need to thank Paul for his hard work and dedication to helping us prepare for this tour and his dedication to this group. Senior Kate Campbell gave a short speech thanking Paul. Kate remember back to her freshman year during the Chorale’s Tour and a senior then Mikhaila Noble described Paul as: so professional – striving for perfection musically and in performance. Also he is also a genuinely warm and kind-hearted human being. Thanks Paul, Andreas, our local, tour guides, the executive board, and each and every chorale member for making this a very memorable and special trip.
