It really is late here, but I wanted to give you one more post from Europe. I'm sure that in the upcoming days I will be able to upload more photos and videos from my home, so do not forget about the blog just yet. However, Jacob and I will be flying almost the entire day tomorrow, and we have been sleep deprived for about three weeks now, so...if I did not get something posted now, it might have been a few days before you heard from me again.
So here are a few items I can share before heading back home. I will start with some video from one of my favorite moments on the tour, without question: the choir singing in Notre Dame Cathedral. What an incredible opportunity, and what a wonderful performance. I can and will give more details about this a few days from now (probably in its own post), but here is a video of the choir performing "Festival Sanctus":
In my previous post, I mentioned that we would be visiting the U.S. Cemetery and Memorial in Luxembourg. Here are a few photos from that visit, which included seeing the gravesite of General Patton, having the choir sing a few solemn hymns, presenting two new U.S. flags, and having three of our trumpeters play "Taps."
An amazing experience. Almost everyone was deeply moved by the visit, and it was a terrific reminder of the sacrifices that have been made for everyone on tour to enjoy the freedoms they do.
I am going to keep this post short so I can pack and try to get a few hours of sleep. Au revior, auf wiedersehen, and arrivederci from Europe. The blog will continue, but it will be from my home. I cannot wait to see Jane and Jackson (and Chester)! Good night!
