Überlingen - Day 2

It's silly to do daily posts here since all we do is sing, eat, walk up and down a big hill, sing, and eat some more LOL! However, today was just so gorgeous that Brynne and I had to go into town again for gelato. I swear that's my main motivation to hike down there -__-" We showed Ben and Skip the way down too, since it's their first year here and introduced them to the silly local things like the ugly fountain and the 'Bad Hotel.' I've taken a few photos but since I don't have a USB cable for the camera I can't upload anything until I get home.

Time has a strange way of stopping here. I was having morning coffee with Robin (our amazing accompanist) and it felt like just yesterday we were having lunch in Leipzig, when in fact I haven't seen him in 11 months! There is something timeless and wonderful about this place. I'm trying to savour every moment but my body is still suffering from jetlag.

Kevin - did you mom ever get home? For that matter - what happened to the camera. GRRR.... And did you manage to send out that package for me? ^____^" I bought you some Strawberry-Rhubarb Ritter Sport, I can bet they don't have THAT flavour at home.
Dani - email me that address in Stuttgart again!!

Anyone that wants a postcard, I'll create a friend-locked post on LJ so you can post your addresses.

In the meantime, the site Daily News is up. There are a couple of live webcams if you want to watch live streams of the rehearsals or just check out photos of our goings on. The site is www.festivalensemble.org
