Rise and Shine
Quotes on canvas are one of my favorite things! I made two of these for birthday presents to some close friends. They absolutely loved them! I liked them so much I'll have to make another one for me sometime.
Day 10: Saturday, May 31
Time to go home!
Today, we flew from Prague to Munich to Chicago to Minneapolis and rode a bus to Valley City. I'll be okay if I don't go on any overnight flights or five hour bus rides anytime soon!
I got home at 6:30 in the morning on Sunday and couldn't wait to share all my stories!!

Day 9: Friday, May 30
This morning we had leisure time in Prague. A group of us went to tour the Jewish Quarters. It was an emotional self tour. One of the synagogues we walked through had first and last names of people who had died, their birthdate, and the last date they were seen alive hand written on the walls.
After lunch, we had gave our final concert in St. Nicholas of Old Town. The seats were full, and it was an amazing performance!
For supper, we ate at the Plzenska restaurant in the Municipal House to celebrate our final night. There was traditional music playing, and the courses tasted wonderful!

Day 8: Thursday, May 29
We started the day with a five hour drive to Prague. We arrived at Strahov Brewery for lunch, met our tour guide, and walked to Prague Castle...in the rain. We explored the Old Royal Palace, Basilica of St. George, the Golden Lane, and St. Vitas Cathedral.
We walked to the hotel...in the rain. Then walked to get our bags from the bus and bring them to the hotel...in the rain.
But! The worst day turned into the best night!
We went to supper at Folklore Gardens. We were served a four course dinner and entertained by traditional music and dance. We had so much fun singing and dancing, not to mention the fantastic food!

Day 7: Wednesday, May 28
Today we went to the Mozarthaus. We had audio guided tours, and I accidentally pressed the children button. So, I'm pretty sure my tour was better than everyone's.
We sang at the St. Stephan's Cathedral. A lot of tourists hovered and watched us.
With the rest of the evening off, we spent the rest of our euros! Then, time for a relaxing evening at the hotel.
I don't have any pictures for this post yet, so here's me and the Sound of Music curtains in our hotel ;)

Day 6: Tuesday, May 27
We started the morning with a tour of Vienna and its local highlights including the Opera House, Hofburg Palace and Stephansdom. For lunch we went to a cafe and had the best coffee EVER--> sooo amazing!
We sang at Schonbrunn Palace on the front steps. It was probably my favorite performance. The palace was used as a royal summer home complete with gardens and a zoo. We had an audio guide tour through 22 of the 1,441 rooms. It was a little impersonal but still enjoyable. The gardens were spectacular! Sam and I walked around and got caught in the pouring rain.
Back at the hotel, we went to a shop across the street. A lot of the jewelry was handmade. I bought a watch and necklace for myself, a bracelet for Amy, and a kitty pouch for Chelsea.
For our free time we went to an applied arts museum. It was free on Tuesday nights! We ran out of time and only made it around the basement; there were two more levels!
