I don't have a lot of pictures to post considering we just arrived in the world's smallest and most deserted town. Ottobeuren is beautiful, and believe it or not, I am thrilled to be ending our tour with this place. I think I can speak for everyone in saying that we all need a break from the walking tours and hectic city life of Europeans. It's very emotionally draining to be on not only a very tight itinerary with pressure to all major landmarks in a specific time frame but to be sharing these experiences with the same people day after day. We could all use a bit of a break. :)
Tomorrow evening will be our second to last concert at the Ottobeuren Festival - it will be awesome! The choir is really coming together (as it always does on tours like this) and our music is a great representative of what we're capable of. I'm excited and slightly sad that these will be my last concerts with this group. My time at CSUF wouldn't have been the same had it not been for choir. I am positive the last concert will be a very special one.
On Sunday, a group of six of us will take a train from here up to Leipzig and make it just in the neck of time for a mass service in the St. Thomas Cathedral - Bach's old church! From there, we'll visit the town, take a day trip to Prague, and head up to Berlin for a few days of craziness. It will be nice to finally have days off from itineraries. We can actually sleep in if we wanted! Perish the thought!
So tonight? My hotel room (which is abnormally spacious and not only has a couch and a desk but an extra bathtub... sweet!) overlooks, I swear, the only restaurant in town where the soccer game is playing. I'll listen to the Germans scream at the television while I cuddle up to episodes of (my favorite television series) Lost (which I conveniently brought with me in my carry on). What a nice evening it will be!
Until then,
<3 Allie
