After a fabulous day of sightseeing in San Francisco, seeing the Golden Gate Bridge, Lombard St, the Golden Gate Park, Pier 39 and riding the Cable Car (soooo much fun!) we had an opportunity to hand out some "awards" (?) and have a group reflection amongst ourselves.
There was a lot of tears and much laughter as we spoke to each other about our feelings and memories of the tour.
There were expressions of feeling cared for by everybody, working really hard to be a professional choir, being proud of being an Australian, meeting new friends, understanding of our "place" in the International Choir community (and we like what we saw!)
All the choristers returned to one last night with their homestay families - more tears one expects but everyone is looking forward to coming home.
See you all in Adelaide on Thursday morning!
Just viewed your Awards performance of Currawong Dreaming. Awesome!!Can't wait to have you home!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for these wonderful blogs. They have allowed those of us left at home in Adelaide to really enjoy the tour alongside all of you and of course celebrate all the special occasions along the way... Not to mention GOLD GOLD GOLD for Australia! :))
