Day 5 of European Tour

Well, today I am in Heathfield in East Sussex in England at my host families house. They have so kindly let me use the internet here. Alot has happened since the last time I wrote from London.
On Tuesday, we went to Colchester, the oldest recorded town in England, and stayed for two nights there with a lovely host family Greta and Michael who lived in a village outside of Colchester called East Bergholts. Michael came with the choir on our coach to Cambridge the next day and was kind of like our tour guide. Cambridge itself is not a college, rather it contains 28 colleges, including King's College which have the most magnificent chapel that we toured. It was a gorgeous, sunny day so I used an entire role of film in Cambridge. From there we went to the Town Hall in Colchester and sang as part of the Mayor Making ceremonies and got to meet him and wave from his balcony, which is where Queen Elizabeth stood when she visited Colchester a few years ago.
Today we drove from Colchester to Canterbury to tour the Cathedral where many arch bishops, kings, queens, and even the "Black Prince" are buried. From Caterbury we drove to Heathfield, met our host families and just finished a concert at there church which looks more like a hall. I'm very tired though, so I'm going to sleep soon. Nighty-night!
