Today we traveled to Burgos and arrived just in time for lunch. Anne, Jan, Lorri and I (Ruth) went into town, down cobblestone/brick streets. On the way we saw some bricklayers creating a new wall.
We explored the streets and found a place in the Plaza Mayor where we sat upstairs. The ceilings are low and the seating was tight, but comfortable. We each ordered something and tried to use our best 1st grade Spanish on the staff. Everything here is wonderful. We are having such a good time.
At 5:00p (or 17:00 hr), the Altos had a sectional to go over the music for the competition and in particular, to go over the music we had sung the night before. We spent 2 hours drilling sections and welcoming our lastest Alto arrivals, Tina and Yumi. They just arrived today.
After the sectional, some of us when upstairs and enjoyed a bottle of delicious red wine with some Spanish chocolate (best stuff, I'm bringing some home).
At about 9:00 pm, we went to dinner. We had the most amazing dinner so far. We had Duck with julienne vegetables, Ox Burger on greens (spinach), three kinds of hummus, Salted Cod, and two very colorful salads, one was cold and the other was hot, with anchovy dressing.
We will sing so much better tomorrow after being inspired by such a beautifully prepared meal. As we were leaving, we saw this poster of us. We're famous!
