Because the breakfast we were being offered wasn't that great, some of us decided to just stay in for the morning and eat a little bit of the stuff we'd gotten the night before at the market. I figured, since I'd helped to convince John at our little meeting the night before that we should get a bit of free time in the Old City in the morning instead of just at our dorms, we'd be able to get a good breakfast at a coffee house. Before we left, we...

I woke up far too early. I was the first one up, so I got ready, and then yelled at everyone else to get up when it was getting close to breakfast time. Breakfast wasn't so great. It was in weird building. All it was was some veggies, eggs, and bread. Not the best way to start the day, but you can't complain too much. Then, once back at the dorms, we had to grab all of our stuff for the day. Of course there's just one elevator and it's slow, so i...

We saw a couple choirs that some of our group had met before. A couple South...

To get from the terminal to the plane, we had to board a bus to take us out onto the tarmac. The choir tried to do sing Vindo, but it turned out horribly. Maybe it was the lack of sleep. It's been a long time since I've had to walk across tarmac and up the steps onto a plane, but it was a small enough plane that there was no need for a proper gate. The plane was tiny, just four across and had rotary propellers. I'm also pretty sure the man sitting n...
