DAY 4 – 12 JULY: WCG/CHICAGO 2012 Hanging Out, Workshops, and hearing a Friendship Concert


Today is going to be a more relaxed day. The Singers are having some down time (swimming, reading, hanging out) before we get ready to go to workshops about South American music and Shape-Note Music. Then tonight we'll attend a Friendship concert to see a choir from Hong Kong and the Crystal Choir from LA.

Now we’re done performing. I think we did really well. The crowd loved us!

Hello family!
I miss you all! I really like Cincinnati. Everything is so pretty. Palmer and I met some people from South Africa. They are really nice and have really cool accents. I love you all!

Dear Mom, Dad, & Alana,

I hope you are all doing well. Sorry I haven’t written. We have been very busy. My finger is doing okay, the stitches have started to come out. I have met people from all over the world (and the US). Cincinnati is nice, the weather is good (but still a little too hot) and the pigs are really cool (look up Cincinnati pigs). Say hi to Cinnamon & sunshine for me!
Lots of love,
Nell

  3. Dear Nell:

    We are delighted you are having a great time. Mom just got back from Washington, DC and Alana is asleep. Cinnamon and Sunny are a bit damp from the rain, but are sleeping in their condos. The concerts sound excellent.

    We love you,

    Mom and Dad (and Alana in absentia snoozing)
