Trip 1 Day ?

Hi all! Sorry we've been so busy and haven't had a chance to blog. Yesterday morning, we did an outreach show in the center of Ciudad Real for all the locals. Although we were very unsure what we were supposed to do during this time, we pulled off a seven number show on the streets of the city. After the show, we had a chance to meet some of the audience members who had been attending our shows all week. After lunch, we practiced with the band for our show in the night, and it ended with some funny songs from Brian. After dinner, we got ready for the show at the auditorium where all of the countries got ready for another carousel show. We were up third of six countries in the show with a set list of Step About, Blackthorn, song sung by Brendan, Planxty Davis and Encore. We were able to watch the Russians, Slovakians and Spanish dancers who performed after us. That night, we had a party for Lauren where we ate cake, or what we thought was cake, along with listening to jokes from Brendan and Brian and a sing-a-long concert from Brendan. Because it was our last night at the festival, all the dancers slept in the hallway with our mattresses (pictures to come). After a fun day at a nearby water park, we are now off to our last practice of the trip followed by a dinner with all the other countries and our last performance.

Hasta Luego!
