Tuesday, August 23

Tuesday was a very… interesting day. The choir woke up very early to meet the tour bus at the Lincoln school for a bus tour of Buenos Aires.

Although many of us were tired our spirits were lifted by our amusing tour guide. Very, very amusing. The bus tour brought us to many famous sites in the city, but which were unfortunately hardly visible because of the miserable weather.

Soon after, we took a train ride and then a boat to one of the islands in the delta close to Buenos Aires. We saw many things such as a “school boat”, which is needed since no one uses cars on the island.

Lunch during Buenos Aires Tour




After lunch the chaperones decided to take us to a mall to shop before the concert. The mall was very expensive so many of us did not purchase anything, but we were glad to be inside in the warmth.

When we finished at the mall we had to go to the church for our evening concert. Well now, that was an adventure.

The weather decided not to cooperate with us. Rain was pouring down and the wind was enough to take you off your feet! After walking for what seemed like forever, a group of tired, cold and extremely wet choristers walked wearily into the church. But, the show must go on!

We quickly changed into our gowns and made ourselves presentable. Then, after a calm, uplifting warm-up we went on stage.

The concert went quite well, even though many of the audience couldn’t show up due to the weather. But nonetheless, the small audience was an appreciative one.

After the concert, we went to a reception, where many of the choristers were shedding a few tears for the graduates that would be leaving the choir after this tour. It was a very emotional night overall.

When the reception was over we all returned to our hotels or billets and rested for the last full day of our Argentina tour.
