Good Morning!

Today is our first concert! I think the kids are getting excited. The basses arrived yesterday and they did some sound checks last night after dinner. Dinner last night was at a southwest/Mexican restaurant, again buffet style. Pretty mild, thank goodness. This morning we will have breakfast here at the hotel and then head to the Finnish countryside to Tuusula Lake. We will have explore time in Jarvenpaa, and then visit the Ainola house (Sibelius home.) Around 2:00 we will come back to the hotel to get ready for rehearsal and the concert at Temppeliaukion Kirkko (Rock Church.)

Right now the joggers are out on a run. Left quite a while ago, so I expect them back any time now. Then we'll head down to breakfast. Oh, they just got back. Ruth, Zach went with the group. They snuck into the Olympic stadium and took two laps around the track, then out around the lake. John took lots of pictures...maybe he will share with us!

Looking forward to the day ahead. Should have pictures later!

    I'm sure there's peace and love with HHS Orchestra where ever they go to. And I believe they'll bring the peace and love to us, HHS and our community. Thank you very much for sharing the tour so all families are with them this morning.

    My Aly has been updating me on Facebook as well. Sounds like she is having a blast! Quite an adventure with some of the kid's looking for ice cream. Can't wait to hear the stories. Thanks again for keeping us up-to-date Wanda!!!
