We got up and packed and boarded the bus to the airport but first we stopped for some shopping which everyone enjoyed. At the airport we said good-bye first to Mark who helped us so much and went beyond the call of duty several times. David helped us get checked in and through security and promised to remain until we were in the air. Unfortunately he had to wait because our flight was delayed because of the ongoing impact of the volcano. We finally were able to lift off but our flight was over an hour longer because we had to do a bit of a detour over Norway to get around the volcanic ash. Tired and a bit blurry we arrived in Edmonton to the waiting arms of our family and friends. There are more post scripts to come but we want to thank all who made this great experience possible and especially our Lord for His ongoing protection and care.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVDGV0BvHN7O1IVEIev-L7vyaDRiV9_n7gstUc9B-J4aft9Ms12f_66FBUqgN5yMQsWH7VDxuiO8p23gikfVrTl2K4wCt2cG93uIw6nfThB3_l53xKypxQu-6y5G8PwY00Mjn0yZJhIq4/s1600/20100504_England2010_0780.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 246px; HEIGHT: 146px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469765725567222914" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVDGV0BvHN7O1IVEIev-L7vyaDRiV9_n7gstUc9B-J4aft9Ms12f_66FBUqgN5yMQsWH7VDxuiO8p23gikfVrTl2K4wCt2cG93uIw6nfThB3_l53xKypxQu-6y5G8PwY00Mjn0yZJhIq4/s320/20100504_England2010_0780.JPG" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbQmhDqWnmKTxJw6n5A5uUMKzWBD7RYbiKfKNxxzv7eskPkFWpGQcbFnEo0mNzuR4pl7EkjYWAc5oUeNa0HlyVk6PjSBJqjSZdcYSAJbQhwnh6qw8zbEiqOE-MTlbNiMT6SLzOAtyPQYo/s1600/20100504_England2010_0782.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469766105482365010" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbQmhDqWnmKTxJw6n5A5uUMKzWBD7RYbiKfKNxxzv7eskPkFWpGQcbFnEo0mNzuR4pl7EkjYWAc5oUeNa0HlyVk6PjSBJqjSZdcYSAJbQhwnh6qw8zbEiqOE-MTlbNiMT6SLzOAtyPQYo/s320/20100504_England2010_0782.JPG" /></a>The elephants were all over London, painted in many different patterns which we found amusing.</div></div>Garry Dombroskyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12379781776299734655noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506598677473712411.post-60256835087142314352010-05-10T14:26:00.000-07:002010-05-10T14:36:48.546-07:00Last Evening in London<div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcY7bwXgAOcHoqH7t4zmDr5lgbX-HqJRBc6RMN6XJZLlvN9OZWhDj_Y3L3eDkHgxoegHc9pUt8KJr3C7cEc8Oe71KHOYzVKIA0e_jBcj9YUNhCcayf4mcm5b2iD4cFutqNDJ-Fs3fviAg/s1600/20100506_England2010_0904.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469757001093056290" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcY7bwXgAOcHoqH7t4zmDr5lgbX-HqJRBc6RMN6XJZLlvN9OZWhDj_Y3L3eDkHgxoegHc9pUt8KJr3C7cEc8Oe71KHOYzVKIA0e_jBcj9YUNhCcayf4mcm5b2iD4cFutqNDJ-Fs3fviAg/s320/20100506_England2010_0904.JPG" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgplrG6OMd5eqc1vR5_qLnJI2T3wLKFKMtAoikt3ttH1qrAq8jgV8QDwhu5ESkhtBNoVjs_0bpS4nlzmKWyF2URDzBlWRJxAD1MsDSMm3U35FLmWWPvxrYgPZjWhqNlvImRUtP06vRHP3w/s1600/20100506_England2010_0901.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 103px; HEIGHT: 215px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469757166718934386" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgplrG6OMd5eqc1vR5_qLnJI2T3wLKFKMtAoikt3ttH1qrAq8jgV8QDwhu5ESkhtBNoVjs_0bpS4nlzmKWyF2URDzBlWRJxAD1MsDSMm3U35FLmWWPvxrYgPZjWhqNlvImRUtP06vRHP3w/s320/20100506_England2010_0901.JPG" /></a>Before returning to our Hostel to change into our finery we had a great tour of the Royal Albert Hall.<br /></div><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp-zZIJM-E_TUnQeE7jkQWpRfLMEGa6alCbiWRRD9z8FD1SbBpd-bTK3eSQxZKhNlaW8qkibPJ4zEnAPw9k1Rc4eNLGlvfh75gScHWU4QNeI4agPm0Lv1-YHOsmTOX10IWlQPOZtWkdDw/s1600/20100506_England2010_0906.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469756722262117794" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp-zZIJM-E_TUnQeE7jkQWpRfLMEGa6alCbiWRRD9z8FD1SbBpd-bTK3eSQxZKhNlaW8qkibPJ4zEnAPw9k1Rc4eNLGlvfh75gScHWU4QNeI4agPm0Lv1-YHOsmTOX10IWlQPOZtWkdDw/s320/20100506_England2010_0906.JPG" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-atubrE-_f1fm6pKazZmJBIKmt4jkTfP_xz__-SWRu4s3mdJfTArLn7pjp9hITXnyMdJm1qs6kd_fQQJPoBv6vrJW-uyl8r_eb-PSF24WZKgnEjpZ8mibnK63WEa928BMAHweMfVzxQ4/s1600/20100506_England2010_0905.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 171px; HEIGHT: 145px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469756856398407906" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-atubrE-_f1fm6pKazZmJBIKmt4jkTfP_xz__-SWRu4s3mdJfTArLn7pjp9hITXnyMdJm1qs6kd_fQQJPoBv6vrJW-uyl8r_eb-PSF24WZKgnEjpZ8mibnK63WEa928BMAHweMfVzxQ4/s320/20100506_England2010_0905.JPG" /></a><br />We ate, we laughed, we cried and we said good-bye to some new friends David and Mark.

The congregation was very welcoming and were rewarded with our best concert. A great way to end a great year for the choir.

We had our final concert today at St. Anne and St. Agnes Lutheran Church a few blocks from St. Paul's. It was a great concert with some of the best pieces to date. The congregation was really appreciative. Saddness was real as it was realized that this was the last concert and last time this edition of the Concordia Choir would sing together. The final piece brought tears. Then in the afterglow we went for a tour of Albert Hall. We almost heard Don McLean (American Pie) rehearse but he was late and so we only heard a few bars through the doors. We have our final supper together tonight and then off to the airport. I will fill in a few more blogs with updates and things we forgot to include earlier on. Thank you all for your prayers, support and encouragement of our choir.Garry Dombroskyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12379781776299734655noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506598677473712411.post-73278781833310116542010-05-07T09:24:00.000-07:002010-05-07T09:32:53.263-07:00Thursday: Fan Dabby Dozy<div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgifdWwslq0SLtJVrHyZjlxYzmfxbaIpuNsdA6Hy_HNmJjVmhOCMGw2b6My9Y0HkUKxbssgFnlZJJKKL3dYq-0nSKbC66Iom3s1gFq5M2jKUSb6cbBiFESu7OLTivUCtadA-eUgM6-XH6M/s1600/20100505_England2010_0827.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468566221441591650" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgifdWwslq0SLtJVrHyZjlxYzmfxbaIpuNsdA6Hy_HNmJjVmhOCMGw2b6My9Y0HkUKxbssgFnlZJJKKL3dYq-0nSKbC66Iom3s1gFq5M2jKUSb6cbBiFESu7OLTivUCtadA-eUgM6-XH6M/s320/20100505_England2010_0827.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKty4D2aSkMFDQa_h1TaZyDdhkNw1WuvmJOjtH3scZ_o_kq-2wfA9n71qIHvNAhRK4DXJguMCJwf7PchevTT25wMyT3LqCX5T8OBeWMWjIny-Dw-Thk4aav8ce0wXrJsl_AjTvcAYOFOU/s1600/20100505_England2010_0807.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468565746852746802" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKty4D2aSkMFDQa_h1TaZyDdhkNw1WuvmJOjtH3scZ_o_kq-2wfA9n71qIHvNAhRK4DXJguMCJwf7PchevTT25wMyT3LqCX5T8OBeWMWjIny-Dw-Thk4aav8ce0wXrJsl_AjTvcAYOFOU/s320/20100505_England2010_0807.JPG" /></a> This morning after we got on the bus our “COACH” driver Mark, who comes from Liverpool and has been trying to educate us about “Scouse” or the local slang there taught us the title word today which means: Good or great which pretty well sums up how things have been going for us.<br />Part one of the day was to drive through the south western part of England to Cantebury Cathedral where we learned a lot about history, especially Thomas a Becket. The Cathedral is huge and we had tours of it and the town. Our small concert was in the main part of the cathedral which is quite an honor.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZo2TAMdc4awKwt5mYqcTIVkBKUcNlDGSqSTzw2TWH8r5loRbgTobhkH277ImfFjNxEItDYOfg7ce9eY49xo-B6YyJ9_4LvQaem9rYEeO7IsWDHky0qSoDX0vw_qUr8a79ibMz1ZRFUaQ/s1600/20100505_England2010_0854.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468566582808911778" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZo2TAMdc4awKwt5mYqcTIVkBKUcNlDGSqSTzw2TWH8r5loRbgTobhkH277ImfFjNxEItDYOfg7ce9eY49xo-B6YyJ9_4LvQaem9rYEeO7IsWDHky0qSoDX0vw_qUr8a79ibMz1ZRFUaQ/s320/20100505_England2010_0854.JPG" /></a><br />At around 4 we got back on the bus for the ride back (a few sleepers were noticed) and were taken to the West End of London for a time to eat and then go to the extra bonus event. This was a highlite of the trip. About 2/3 of us went to “Wicked” advertized as a parallel to the Wizard of Oz. It took us by a great surprise. The costumes, the singing, the dancing, the sets and the story were all enchanting and it was a great treat to be able to see this, now famous, play in London with our friends. About 1/3 took the time to explore downtown London and go to the London eye. It, in all, was a great day. Just when we thought we couldn’t pack any more great experiences into one day – we did. In 24 hours: Macbeth, Singing in Cantebury Cathedral and then Wicked. Wow!!!!!</div></div>Garry Dombroskyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12379781776299734655noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506598677473712411.post-71525835817675593492010-05-06T15:26:00.000-07:002010-05-06T15:45:55.962-07:00Wednesday, London Pictures<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUgHTbgbbH_6ksXwvSbEOE8MuwGo3aVZ0pUe95DiosKlueOjlmSO1FpBLEiOlel1Bl_avqy1A8fBpvft0q2Ip5XLByiy6qCzAVOtjayrxRXXiKTnSVhrgVFoQN8vF29s270YyK-3ERSGo/s1600/20100504_England2010_0753.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468291889766645170" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUgHTbgbbH_6ksXwvSbEOE8MuwGo3aVZ0pUe95DiosKlueOjlmSO1FpBLEiOlel1Bl_avqy1A8fBpvft0q2Ip5XLByiy6qCzAVOtjayrxRXXiKTnSVhrgVFoQN8vF29s270YyK-3ERSGo/s320/20100504_England2010_0753.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZQKZnyrzNfROcsdZyVUR_vClBTLPus7AwmVicFJTqGqaDkEk9MKLo8OC_eIISQ4Fc4RV2B-KbO4xNZ8_0uPD33faEr7lnAhRBOaySGK3RLcQ2BRUMIn3Np72TOhGnXSRHeWk6xdLrxjQ/s1600/20100504_England2010_0735.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468290639831135762" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZQKZnyrzNfROcsdZyVUR_vClBTLPus7AwmVicFJTqGqaDkEk9MKLo8OC_eIISQ4Fc4RV2B-KbO4xNZ8_0uPD33faEr7lnAhRBOaySGK3RLcQ2BRUMIn3Np72TOhGnXSRHeWk6xdLrxjQ/s320/20100504_England2010_0735.JPG" /></a> Pictures from our tour of London, The Tower of London and Tower Bridge.

This morning we got to sort of sleep in and boarded the bus at 10 for a bus tour of downtown London: We saw lots of London: Parliament buildlings, Big Ben, St. Paul’s, Buckingham Palace, the bridges, and more. We ended up at the tower of London where we had time for lunch and then a tour of the tower area and the museums there. Our first stop was to see and learn about the crown jewels. We spent a few hours getting in touch with the history that went back to Roman times(before 1066 and William the Conqueror who built the first tower). There is also a great view of tower bridge and so we had lots to see and do. A lot of information to soak up.<br />About 5 we gathered and walked across the tower bridge and along the Thames to an area where we could get food and then on to a surprise of an evening. We saw Macbeth performed at the Globe theatre. It was cool to be in the theatre(faithful recreation) of the original venue for Shakespeare’s plays. Quite a brutal play but amazing to watch and a treat to see it here. We walked across the Millenium Bridge to St. Paul’s Cathedral where the bus, oops....COACH. Picked us up and back to the hostel after a very long day.<br />We have a real problem remembering to call what we are on a COACH and not a bus but we are getting better at it. A day of pictures, London, and the realization that we have such a short time left. So far no one has been lost, left behind though we have found that the Canadian Embassy is quite helpful when needed. Well, that’s all from the wandering choir. It seems just when we can’t get more in the day...we do.Garry Dombroskyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12379781776299734655noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506598677473712411.post-88808879583170223602010-05-05T01:35:00.001-07:002010-05-05T01:45:42.395-07:00More pix from Camridge<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuaGBCfD-DjEQcqR89jy4r3jITpttX3oKK3k8adko8yFh_JRFMTuzW9cfSgPl3kn8D_Hmr8RDzwxc7g0kIgCYaMbzT7r3nFl7UrzEWaB2BzWPhUFRO2MHsvKcg6fvW-6hPNF-bVpk9Kz4/s1600/20100504_England2010_0706.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px;

The rest of us did some last minute museum visiting, shopping, eating at some special places, buying a suit and getting a haircut. Yes, David with the long locks tried out British haircutting in preparation for our special evening at Selwyn. We gathered at 4:30 for the walk to Selwyn where we had choir practice with the Selwyn choir in preparation for the Choral evensong. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJDqYa3C7w8CrYZSAi3PEswlnoPLJM3F1_3uWi8NHm9SJIMhaH3DYon120i6K2lIBSiMVnX3vBXwdt86sjBLi9DrxkdbhRXq4KvkWNIrA4UlOR0DGEPC_Yn8oFUbP8fvBNqRblPiaHmMo/s1600/20100503_England2010_0671.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467687464196774818" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJDqYa3C7w8CrYZSAi3PEswlnoPLJM3F1_3uWi8NHm9SJIMhaH3DYon120i6K2lIBSiMVnX3vBXwdt86sjBLi9DrxkdbhRXq4KvkWNIrA4UlOR0DGEPC_Yn8oFUbP8fvBNqRblPiaHmMo/s320/20100503_England2010_0671.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCjaq_HkfecH68NrwgjfButEWDpgk_QZEsVCLWVLHRz_eaj9kgXky-CBp6ATsXybc4Oed6adBGOhtdGCJ-nc-wocoF1HgPhmT1RQtkY1MyHdPASBxu7TWpyWkAxAZ-U8pa68Hd58sUX-0/s1600/20100503_England2010_0682.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 214px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467688266410210194" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCjaq_HkfecH68NrwgjfButEWDpgk_QZEsVCLWVLHRz_eaj9kgXky-CBp6ATsXybc4Oed6adBGOhtdGCJ-nc-wocoF1HgPhmT1RQtkY1MyHdPASBxu7TWpyWkAxAZ-U8pa68Hd58sUX-0/s320/20100503_England2010_0682.JPG" /></a><br />Guest blogger Anna now shares the horse adventure. Hey everyone! Hello from a coach on the way to London! A few days ago a couple of us had the idea that for our day in Cambridge when we had a lot of time off, we would try and go riding (hacking) in the English countryside. By the time we finalized our plans, our group consisted of 9 riders, 1 photographer and our awesome coach driver. Initially we were planning on taking a cab or a bus to the stables which was 8 miles north of town but our afore mentioned AWESOME coach driver offered to drive us to the stables and partake in our shenanigans. Our driver, Mark, said that we were a far-cry to the quiet choir members he first met in Manchester. This was definitely reinforced with hearty renditions of songs of Grease blaring over the coach speakers (especially the performance by Megan). After lunch of fish and chips in a tiny village on the way, these Albertan cowgirls and boys hopped onto their horses saddled in the English style. A funny point was that Megan, who was the tallest one of the group, had the shortest horse; Lynsey, who had the tallest horse can be quoted as saying whilst riding “Megan I think you’re head is at least a foot and a half lower than my butt!”. Other than John’s horse walking away without him mounted, the ride went very well with the riders who had never ridden before even learning how to do a rising trot along the fresh green roadside. All in all it was a fabulous outing made all the better by clear skies, great fellowship and no rain!! Speaking of Selwyn!!! A good time was had by all. We sang well with the Selwyn choir and then processed to their stately dining hall, not quite Harry Potter, but close enough for us. The meal was supurb and magical. A special salad, broccoli, potatoes and a lamb steak, followed by a fabulous creme brule. Wine was served. It was very stately with the Selwyn students all dressed up in their finerary since the evening was a special one where students get “married” as part of a mentoring program. Canadian students and British students really enjoyed their time together but alas we had to depart so with sad farewells the “students” boarded the bus and had to wait for Joy and Lorne who had been seated with the faculty and had been whisked off to a post meal party. Finally we pried them away from their colleagues and boarded the bus for London. It will be a late night. </div></div></div></div>Garry Dombroskyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12379781776299734655noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506598677473712411.post-8776045790507299032010-05-04T00:24:00.000-07:002010-05-04T00:32:29.375-07:00Monday - Concert at Great Saint Mary's<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdUCYFHi69YN1ZbGIKX4dF-VuUUA-VNmH6f8ARCYSRF822WOfX04w-qqjfmh6rRorOBAEDeFnoTF5tK5uw-SlHo70SOuYz34OrpfGqCMtHkQ_cySaL9416KYuRKjy1FQYI8EvAL701jAc/s1600/20100502_England2010_0640.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467313763702863762" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdUCYFHi69YN1ZbGIKX4dF-VuUUA-VNmH6f8ARCYSRF822WOfX04w-qqjfmh6rRorOBAEDeFnoTF5tK5uw-SlHo70SOuYz34OrpfGqCMtHkQ_cySaL9416KYuRKjy1FQYI8EvAL701jAc/s320/20100502_England2010_0640.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8yfIhhcGqfaNjbPbutBarqFFOkA5g4Yg1zkeX0bF5Nb2OG4ou7cuDelVJ5LRDrH1LZZ9caOpS_zETWC776QypKSHY1X4o8D6Y6OvIdpEoTMFJoJNaxFoMz3pQhIRtuUrqqG4diMioCf0/s1600/20100502_England2010_0625.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 214px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467313243146481010" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8yfIhhcGqfaNjbPbutBarqFFOkA5g4Yg1zkeX0bF5Nb2OG4ou7cuDelVJ5LRDrH1LZZ9caOpS_zETWC776QypKSHY1X4o8D6Y6OvIdpEoTMFJoJNaxFoMz3pQhIRtuUrqqG4diMioCf0/s320/20100502_England2010_0625.JPG" /></a><br />A bit slower start today as we prepared to travel uptown again for a rehearsal and the 1:05 concert at Great St. Mary’s the University Church where we took part in worship yesterday. The church goes back many centuries and has a great deal of history. A short break for lunch and then the concert which went well with the ladies adding pink ribbons as an accessory around their waists. After some more time to stroll around, since it was a Bank Holiday, we went back to the hostel and got ready to walk for a group supper at a Thai Restaurant. Tomorrow we have more time in Cambridge until evensong and then the supper at Selwyn College.<br />PS: Some of us got to the Eagle Pub, famous for being a hang out for WWII flyers in the area and the famous team of Watson and Crick who first described DNA. To sit in such a place with so much history on so many levels is humbling when you come from a land which has a lot less history. Mushy peas it is said will not go on the list of culinary delights we will cherish from our trip. The Cambridge University Press Bookstore is a mecca for teacher types and a great place to shop. The only problem is that there are so many books and so little money. </div>Garry Dombroskyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12379781776299734655noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506598677473712411.post-72996746134577773072010-05-03T01:15:00.001-07:002010-05-03T01:22:18.920-07:00Guess the Singer<div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0nPmW-q0MMtTqql_XLQAwQibglXwEw1Tn_lAseWB5is5N351WdWxYIcwuT7rFEAXby0LJELJAw6QPt8uH44UlrnN2C6vh2zep9xaiustpspbVetSb4nMXdWf3AcLmbd-cMIzUheul4rc/s1600/20100430_England2010_0509.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466954985477212274" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0nPmW-q0MMtTqql_XLQAwQibglXwEw1Tn_lAseWB5is5N351WdWxYIcwuT7rFEAXby0LJELJAw6QPt8uH44UlrnN2C6vh2zep9xaiustpspbVetSb4nMXdWf3AcLmbd-cMIzUheul4rc/s320/20100430_England2010_0509.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div>This singer is not depressed...but can you guess his identity?</div><div></div><div>We also remember daily our great University back in Edmonton and our President Krispin.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdex6woNvImYmADPxFQngwQFxMg_YKzOYwWiCXMI4L61w-erbaDjghXOgiJPqQNzk8GDU7CX4zRaUqn3fL_QaQ4Tiok8pCD2K-_Bz4rpwWnv9id-bUDr82gwjaspn5L5DnAVVjJcPFZNQ/s1600/20100501_England2010_0621.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466955681644443042" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdex6woNvImYmADPxFQngwQFxMg_YKzOYwWiCXMI4L61w-erbaDjghXOgiJPqQNzk8GDU7CX4zRaUqn3fL_QaQ4Tiok8pCD2K-_Bz4rpwWnv9id-bUDr82gwjaspn5L5DnAVVjJcPFZNQ/s320/20100501_England2010_0621.JPG" /></a></div></div>Garry Dombroskyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12379781776299734655noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506598677473712411.post-66834906658423491942010-05-02T12:21:00.000-07:002010-05-02T12:33:46.312-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCkN3FRAH68jzg60ttC2CsEQdLNrPByirnMWpEFkxuXNYh80IvPcPJuipnX-Lg6rshC2Uz1J80isbnAc23j_82KnjkOTXTlidmR6ecZIsEoaQpNLoJCyL7ADzipSFAspdCXYcdL9De4S0/s1600/20100430_England2010_0518.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466757420023797874" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCkN3FRAH68jzg60ttC2CsEQdLNrPByirnMWpEFkxuXNYh80IvPcPJuipnX-Lg6rshC2Uz1J80isbnAc23j_82KnjkOTXTlidmR6ecZIsEoaQpNLoJCyL7ADzipSFAspdCXYcdL9De4S0/s320/20100430_England2010_0518.JPG" /></a> Here are a few pictures of our choir members.

For example...food...we are liking it. British breakfasts of sausages, english bacon, eggs, potatoe patties, and heinz beans are to our liking. Cornish Pastys are a big hit since they are hot, good, and tastey. Salmon pastys are well liked in addition to the traditional steak and leak ones. Joy and the rest are not having a tough time finding a Starbucks because they are everywhere here. We've had fish and chips (okay). Scones clotted cream and jam are a hit. But the big hit is: Tatties, a local baked potatoe place. The chili one is good, as is the hummas and olive one (an English minor is correcting my writing as we go) , chicken and salsa is also suggested. Cafe Concerto is already a favorite for others. It is clear that we are not starving and though food isn't as fast as we are used to, it is good, hot and relatively cheap. Wendy and Bill went to a local pub last night and had "Bubble and Squeak." More to come. </div>Garry Dombroskyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12379781776299734655noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506598677473712411.post-43672041815657331482010-05-02T11:59:00.000-07:002010-05-02T12:10:20.753-07:00Sunday May 2 - Church Day<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglYTuUJJQSA79y33hv-D9TF-etxBBZjyxmVcKKXgo36hVLuHSdJBOWnHF66zu9Kt6EGsc62GT9h5Ds5fYC138IJ4a2q9RQHFZn7zPOqhcV9vkMjXcmjZjZg1hLM69s-Hfi8u4eeKY9-T4/s1600/20100501_England2010_0619.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466751547944612306" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglYTuUJJQSA79y33hv-D9TF-etxBBZjyxmVcKKXgo36hVLuHSdJBOWnHF66zu9Kt6EGsc62GT9h5Ds5fYC138IJ4a2q9RQHFZn7zPOqhcV9vkMjXcmjZjZg1hLM69s-Hfi8u4eeKY9-T4/s320/20100501_England2010_0619.JPG" /></a><br /><div><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><br />Today we spent a lot of time in church. After breakfast we took the bus down to Great St. Mary’s Church to practice for music in the worship this morning. Joy says this morning went very smoothly and was glad we had the practice back in Edmonton at Holy Trinity. The first university church dates from the 1300's so the ministry is very old. It was a good experience after which we went for lunch in the inner part of Cambridge. At 1 we went to King’s College for a special afternoon. For two hours we had a special workshop with Stephen Cleobury<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHDQQDhvrDI8DBDPi_BtldNsZymJyL9rBL3ZpZKVkjbrgKCt6RrIZlJEbdJNuBdd4gyOsNiSjahOX9XDddjTPUScNrx5g85Df6eBSbvXaeZySXYreQRcoFxsefheJsJK5PRsAmGUr9HTo/s1600/20100501_England2010_0614.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466750919929580690" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHDQQDhvrDI8DBDPi_BtldNsZymJyL9rBL3ZpZKVkjbrgKCt6RrIZlJEbdJNuBdd4gyOsNiSjahOX9XDddjTPUScNrx5g85Df6eBSbvXaeZySXYreQRcoFxsefheJsJK5PRsAmGUr9HTo/s320/20100501_England2010_0614.JPG" /></a> who gave some great tips for improving our music. After that we walked around the beautiful court yard to the Kings College Chapel we were able to be part of the congregation at the Evensong service. Kings College Chapel is huge and beautiful. The boys choir sang the music and were conducted by Stephen Cleobury. It again was a great experience. After time for supper uptown we came back to the hostel where everyone chilled out to play games and do email. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqrDJNn68d7KctErBNj8rASaA0Z9KcDI_LY3BlaihIB5yCu0fYu9hZOuKIC-vFGoYY4u96LbC9vsjgXnqljGihvNk-HgbTFCBCEJtYckiml-WiM5LH-lAulo02z1z4OchSLTrLXfD0vYw/s1600/20100430_England2010_0584.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466749951613391442" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqrDJNn68d7KctErBNj8rASaA0Z9KcDI_LY3BlaihIB5yCu0fYu9hZOuKIC-vFGoYY4u96LbC9vsjgXnqljGihvNk-HgbTFCBCEJtYckiml-WiM5LH-lAulo02z1z4OchSLTrLXfD0vYw/s320/20100430_England2010_0584.JPG" /></a><br />A great day for experiencing church music.<br />Update: Some have wondered why the initial emphasis on potties!!. Some had trouble getting them to flush but Megan tells us that she now can get them to flush. There was just a lot of history connected to the development of toilets. </div></div>Garry Dombroskyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12379781776299734655noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506598677473712411.post-86375132840627059782010-05-01T12:48:00.001-07:002010-05-01T12:57:07.306-07:00Punting at Cambridge.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg60VQhXxhUyd7rmw98GvKNbQohdNOxq-EZYOfSKy6CWVB85gRHRJgb7qFsoXyzAmlgZnN-IvSbqY-TANNzvzzcPA8-U5fbmrVSDIGZwD-RKKguPzldp7qk25s4Tx6aR3jDuuxsFy-uLIw/s1600/20100430_England2010_0599.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466393017289646146" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg60VQhXxhUyd7rmw98GvKNbQohdNOxq-EZYOfSKy6CWVB85gRHRJgb7qFsoXyzAmlgZnN-IvSbqY-TANNzvzzcPA8-U5fbmrVSDIGZwD-RKKguPzldp7qk25s4Tx6aR3jDuuxsFy-uLIw/s320/20100430_England2010_0599.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6NcGjSGdlexDtROUjGCry_VKgFeqtTeBy_4fjqfzWHUWRBBkZ__le8Ws0ZuiI5o7MHL6lBLt5jI9rlUTazri3UrscRoOXrh-kuY4oIvt2eQ0_JjGi69TE3-PtFjGjoPwdjRRcyr0TfSE/s1600/20100430_England2010_0581.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466392546794136402" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6NcGjSGdlexDtROUjGCry_VKgFeqtTeBy_4fjqfzWHUWRBBkZ__le8Ws0ZuiI5o7MHL6lBLt5jI9rlUTazri3UrscRoOXrh-kuY4oIvt2eQ0_JjGi69TE3-PtFjGjoPwdjRRcyr0TfSE/s320/20100430_England2010_0581.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSfULe7yScq0aNjR9VPL8w-iGtAFt7eQp-xOX4HYKuqT6_AlZNZP1LnN2ZMde1s5fqGsZW4k2e88KmPoFHpjQJzMh0Ol4y8Q9nchoan4X4uG7v-xixPjPEhP7CHIjIjw5RsfvhkEx5jQM/s1600/20100430_England2010_0595.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 214px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466392140263658178" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSfULe7yScq0aNjR9VPL8w-iGtAFt7eQp-xOX4HYKuqT6_AlZNZP1LnN2ZMde1s5fqGsZW4k2e88KmPoFHpjQJzMh0Ol4y8Q9nchoan4X4uG7v-xixPjPEhP7CHIjIjw5RsfvhkEx5jQM/s320/20100430_England2010_0595.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsEmZ5MT0itRvlCnIvrUtGttoLiI0v-Xwk7fwGHHgDY_LlTZJDCVtKTQUAOEu6ehFLcDXeXxW8oLOydldqOIIFbiEcCuMx9E6wIRYeN9ODztl4yROpUeONppi4XzDjksHuShW5YTFceuM/s1600/20100430_England2010_0600.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466391729025525042" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsEmZ5MT0itRvlCnIvrUtGttoLiI0v-Xwk7fwGHHgDY_LlTZJDCVtKTQUAOEu6ehFLcDXeXxW8oLOydldqOIIFbiEcCuMx9E6wIRYeN9ODztl4yROpUeONppi4XzDjksHuShW5YTFceuM/s320/20100430_England2010_0600.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQKCEzNXNdvlXImids1qckWq_zOKyUjxknoqr37ONWzHvEvDUdDbpbMcYU-nxpvmQAgnkJrytTQV1U3IyB7VndXlaJjmfqEU4Y25Kr5-NrT6CM4QFNg3S-4A_LEpcU-n_uugAxDzWeC0c/s1600/20100430_England2010_0602.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 214px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466391303085574050" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQKCEzNXNdvlXImids1qckWq_zOKyUjxknoqr37ONWzHvEvDUdDbpbMcYU-nxpvmQAgnkJrytTQV1U3IyB7VndXlaJjmfqEU4Y25Kr5-NrT6CM4QFNg3S-4A_LEpcU-n_uugAxDzWeC0c/s320/20100430_England2010_0602.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>Here we are after our concert upon returning to Cambridge:</div></div></div></div></div>Garry Dombroskyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12379781776299734655noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506598677473712411.post-49396254835232123622010-05-01T12:47:00.000-07:002010-05-01T12:48:03.373-07:00Punting at BGarry Dombroskyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12379781776299734655noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506598677473712411.post-14095725593097633132010-05-01T12:31:00.000-07:002010-05-01T12:47:26.353-07:00More Pix from Ely<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-qJFs2mP7rvl6Wxm5yUg6L1wMnQbYM8x2Y46-_Us-5YZH-uO15vt675l9b_TJ1Rp02QaIC9Ido_RaJMr0m01h9K5fXloS8mNlEx3elfAtRfyquRk59u16_M5AQfGKTFNqV3eycAbKTv8/s1600/20100430_England2010_0562.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 213px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466389821861978018" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-qJFs2mP7rvl6Wxm5yUg6L1wMnQbYM8x2Y46-_Us-5YZH-uO15vt675l9b_TJ1Rp02QaIC9Ido_RaJMr0m01h9K5fXloS8mNlEx3elfAtRfyquRk59u16_M5AQfGKTFNqV3eycAbKTv8/s320/20100430_England2010_0562.JPG" /></a> Kristin Kahle says that the concert at Ely was phenomenal.

The cathedral is beautiful and grand(how do you even begin to describe something so majestic and awe inspiring. The sheer history of this place reflecting many changes in history. Oliver Cromwell’s house is in Ely and his impact on many churches in England was immense as was that of Henry VIII, but still the cathedral has a spiritual presence that lifts your eyes to the heavens when you enter.<br />When we arrived we had a tour of the cathedral. The history and the detail are very different from anything we have seen thus far. As we were sitting a procession of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre(50 - 60 people)in their robes and cloaks marked with the crusaders cross. Our guide had never seen such before so we were honored to see them as they went to the chapel for a service. The Lady Chapel is large with awesome acoustics (7 sec reverb). Very different sound from the practice room back at Concordia. Singing in such places gives the choir a whole different sound.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGwv9knSGz1ksB4aX_a3YF9dlulJF7iGHpjfI9nOyf0A19VHp-sfZ9k_bdkkh6z2zHPU9zVYGY8EiSCexBh1a9WoG_bJIq3ciRC8giExDQgYcpY2pHrpx8ig-d-KYP6za9QgtYljNMDv0/s1600/20100430_England2010_0514.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466383586383164450" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGwv9knSGz1ksB4aX_a3YF9dlulJF7iGHpjfI9nOyf0A19VHp-sfZ9k_bdkkh6z2zHPU9zVYGY8EiSCexBh1a9WoG_bJIq3ciRC8giExDQgYcpY2pHrpx8ig-d-KYP6za9QgtYljNMDv0/s320/20100430_England2010_0514.JPG" /></a><br />The concert when wonderfully. In this space our choir sounded as they never have before and a few were moved to tears when they got to the final traditional piece. There was a good crowd and now the top experience thus far is The Lady Chapel. As we left the cathedral there was an orchestra and singers preparing for a Gilbert and Sullivan presentation this evening. The amount of culture and opportunities to hear choral music is amazing. We returned to Cambridge for a rehearsal in St. Mary’s where the choir will be singing tomorrow. Later this afternoon we will be going Punting in the Backs. Stay tuned. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_iK92d7U7vXGwPyHImp3FUEyF1KVC8ouQM8-hQ3QBTtDS1_Zg_OpGEILNY3r0u8NNoP9aOX2g21W0SPcutIE4cKuAp0nvwSnJC8QKCdiWobTdS07CfL_4W28FHjZ2t5DQMBxUJGNiN34/s1600/20100430_England2010_0532.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 214px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466384631004293330" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_iK92d7U7vXGwPyHImp3FUEyF1KVC8ouQM8-hQ3QBTtDS1_Zg_OpGEILNY3r0u8NNoP9aOX2g21W0SPcutIE4cKuAp0nvwSnJC8QKCdiWobTdS07CfL_4W28FHjZ2t5DQMBxUJGNiN34/s320/20100430_England2010_0532.JPG" /></a><br />PS from Garry: It has been wonderful to watch the choir members react to the acoustics in the various places they have sung. They have risen to the challenge to make some amazing music.

We had such a good time there: history to see, our first real experience with ancient spaces to sing in, Karaoke, learning how to use European toilets, and simply enjoying being part of the adventure. We packed and left (right on time) and drove for 4 hours across several shires to Cambridge. Once there our bus left us off a distance from the center of the city which is pedestrian and bicycle only and we walked to St. Mary’s Church where we had some free time to get lunch, followed by a walking tour of downtown Cambridge.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhreeuJVw9BJxSYJKYGJbHjLrlbADz9ShVo2ky-cYITQuv8hJdrCRs3oZq-zSHNuRZaF-k_W_KfCSF8j3mNRRtCTtq9yIMw77uISv0dRyva3U2lkYghmrwhm93rFW3zraMXohpSP-5DDs4/s1600/20100429_England2010_0496.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466381941509727410" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhreeuJVw9BJxSYJKYGJbHjLrlbADz9ShVo2ky-cYITQuv8hJdrCRs3oZq-zSHNuRZaF-k_W_KfCSF8j3mNRRtCTtq9yIMw77uISv0dRyva3U2lkYghmrwhm93rFW3zraMXohpSP-5DDs4/s320/20100429_England2010_0496.JPG" /></a> Our guides told us about the university system, the colleges and how they all fit together. Only 18,000 students at Cambridge. It is very beautiful with wonderful architecture and lots of history. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg58vl6LvNGBwQkniw4AETbez2Yz2ElafmJU0GQ1rT5AhR35FqYjaRpPsmbONv_DVnbEQzTQicag8OYD0fEujZ0S_1KiNMsP3hOeNhrvTb0gFS17Jsy58aO7rSMvvfDg7CAw54_eEjEoxo/s1600/20100429_England2010_0482.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466381403085916994" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg58vl6LvNGBwQkniw4AETbez2Yz2ElafmJU0GQ1rT5AhR35FqYjaRpPsmbONv_DVnbEQzTQicag8OYD0fEujZ0S_1KiNMsP3hOeNhrvTb0gFS17Jsy58aO7rSMvvfDg7CAw54_eEjEoxo/s320/20100429_England2010_0482.JPG" /></a>We even stopped on the site of the pub(no longer there) where English reformers such as Latimer discussed the works of Martin Luther. There is a pub up the street that bears a plaque honoring two of its patrons and the discovery of the structure of DNA that was first mapped out there(Watson and Crick). With 800 years of history it is no wonder that the university has so many famous alumni–including our own Dr. Kraemer. The lawns are green and with all the rain it is a treat for the eyes. We got to our hostel late in the afternoon(much smaller and less modern than our first one which we hear is the best one–too bad). Supper was at Pizza Express a very nice place in an old building on “Jesus Street”–very fitting for our choir. It was cooler and raining so many tried to catch up on their sleep. English countryside and cambridge. A good day to remember. </div></div>Garry Dombroskyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12379781776299734655noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506598677473712411.post-54027819623588947992010-04-29T13:15:00.000-07:002010-04-29T13:31:08.012-07:00A Day At York: Thurs.

We learned a lot about British roads and history along the way. Once in York we went to York Minster Anglican Cathedral. From our arrival until 1 we were taken on a walking tour of the city and saw places like the Shambles, and medieval and roman walls, gates, and ruins dating back before Henry VIII. We got a lot of info on the history of toilets throughout British history. York is rich in history. At one we entered the Minster which is huge. It is an awesome place, filled with history and now the Concordia Concert Choir. The choir had a chance to sing several selections in the cathedral. After singing in the wonderful acoustics of the ancient space we moved to St. Mary’s chapel in the cathedral and sang again. WOW!!!!! The sound was overwhelming for the choir members. The remainder of the afternoon choir members went about York: eating, cornish pasties, yorkshire pudding, visiting Roman Baths and ruins, and the many shops in very old buildings. Even though it was raining we had a great day before returning to Manchester for our last night there. Anna walked the whole outer wall (3.5Miles). Some are still having issues with flushing British toilets. To sing in such spaces is overwhelming. Too bad all back home could not see our faces when we sang Hodie in the Minster. More fun days yet to come. Tomorrow - On to Cambridge. We also found out that it was at York that Emperor Constantine actually became emperor. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCxjUy8cYRyIVdW6TnHM4hJSA2sWHK_RK9WDhMa6gPxTajlIi85xTQwylkUJ7GtxgixsTsC_U8lqhw2BrHLk5Vap7nDxgc5Y6kBoeIhZSWy-TA4d33gK7jqVizHFgXeLtGuroDRk2-3YA/s1600/20100428_England2010_0431.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465659232329512002" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCxjUy8cYRyIVdW6TnHM4hJSA2sWHK_RK9WDhMa6gPxTajlIi85xTQwylkUJ7GtxgixsTsC_U8lqhw2BrHLk5Vap7nDxgc5Y6kBoeIhZSWy-TA4d33gK7jqVizHFgXeLtGuroDRk2-3YA/s320/20100428_England2010_0431.JPG" /></a></div></div></div>Garry Dombroskyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12379781776299734655noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506598677473712411.post-87782773623285283982010-04-29T13:04:00.000-07:002010-04-29T13:15:31.147-07:00Wednesday, April 28 - Manchester<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k9jaDB5B90o/S9nnMja0waI/AAAAAAAAAwA/3gvHQc-RHV0/s1600/20100426_England2010_0400.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465653825643004322" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k9jaDB5B90o/S9nnMja0waI/AAAAAAAAAwA/3gvHQc-RHV0/s320/20100426_England2010_0400.JPG" /></a><br /><div><div><div>We got up and had a late breakfast in the hostel. With maps in hand we spread out to see the downtown of Manchester which is just a bit smaller but much older than Edmonton. There is a lot to see and it was a good day to move beyond our jet lag. Tonight is our first concert in downtown Manchester. While walking today some of us saw signs about a special concert for Haiti featuring the CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF EDMONTON CHOIR. After a mid afternoon nap we are off for rehearsal with the choir we are sharing the concert with tonight. <br />Our concert at St. Annes church was a great success. St.Annes (1721) dates back to the early day Manchster and it’s bell tower marks the geographical center of the city. We shared the evening with a high school choir from Bolton School, a very accomplished chamber choir. The final piece was Handel’s Messiah where both choirs were combined. It was the ending to a wonderful day and the hospitality of the local <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmBuKa1fne4XIQWDC6XNWQIXPU-P9A0YpHBH8BS4uDZDc01AkiqesxGwW6hTc722yUwRPUVnzH59t320TPafi1gCPU8CE4FbhNfRxd9nhTzJOJE_pfy_bIVVA4TNFvyfLYb0Xd2nyQZRo/s1600/20100427_England2010_0420.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465655125298630850" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmBuKa1fne4XIQWDC6XNWQIXPU-P9A0YpHBH8BS4uDZDc01AkiqesxGwW6hTc722yUwRPUVnzH59t320TPafi1gCPU8CE4FbhNfRxd9nhTzJOJE_pfy_bIVVA4TNFvyfLYb0Xd2nyQZRo/s320/20100427_England2010_0420.JPG" /></a>people was overwhelming.

We got to Heathrow Airport and thanks to one of our colleagues from Concordia also on the flight we made a swift transfer to our connecting terminal for our flight to Manchester. After a few hours wait we were ready to leave—except–we lost two. When all of us were in the departure lounge we realized two were missing. We got on the plane wondering what had happened to them and we couldn’t go back through security to look for them. Just as the door was to close they came onto the plane. They had fallen asleep in the terminal and woke up just....in time to make it. Not to mention any names but we are glad that Megan and Kristin managed to get a bit more sleep than the rest of us. We got to Manchester(5 p.m.) okay, met our guide and boarded our bus. All our luggage arrived with us so we all got to the youth hostel and after settling in went out for a very nice supper at 7:30 p.m.. It goes without saying that most of us were more than ready to get back and settle in for the night. The Youth Hostel is new and we are in a very historic part of the city with Roman Ruins, canals, old rail bridges, and the oldest passenger train station(now a Museum) built in 1831. We are two blocks from Granada TV studios and the set of “Coronation Street”. A lot of the area looks like Coronation Street.</div>Garry
