The Hotel Zvon, where we stayed. It was the nicest hotel we stayed in on the trip. It was much nicer and more modern inside than out. The hotel was on a large square.

Here we are singing. You can see me directly above the open song book of the lady who is sitting. We must be practicing here; I can't imagine that lady would be singing the actual concert with that bright pink jacket on! We altos were standing just below that pulpit thing; part of it was loose, so we were constantly worried about either hitting our heads or knocking parts off, or both.

Here we're getting ready to sing. The very, very back row is Jan, Ila, Arlene, me, then some tall white haired guy with a beard.

The soprano soloist. Jonathan said her voice was much better than the alto's, but I liked the alto's voice better.

Jan and ? at dinner that evening. At last, they didn't serve us that horrible dumpling dish! Instead, they served fish. Whole. Like, with the eyeballs and bones and everything. It was actually really good, once I figured out how to eat it.
