Italy Tour Roma

We have had a fantastic time here in Roma the last few days.  It's been very hot and we have done a LOT of walking to get in as many sights as possible in our short visit.   My apologies for not getting something written on the blog, but we did get pictures online for those 2 days with more pictures from last night to come soon.  Briefly, we have visited so many incredible places including St. Peter's, the Vatican Museum, the Sistine Chapel, Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps, the Colesseum, the Pantheon, and the Gladiator school.  The boys singing for Mass at St. Peter's was beautiful and such an amazing and moving experience for all.  Last night's final concert at Saint' Agnese in Agone at Piazza Novona was with the Coro I Pini di Roma girl's choir.  We wrapped up our tour with a farewell pizza dinner to celebrate a most memorable tour here in Italy and to say thanks to our fabulous and hardworking chaperones, our KI representatives for coordinating our logistics, our 3 fun and helpful bus guides, and our 3 bus drivers.   Flight group 1 left earlier this morning, while flight groups 2 and 3 are nearly ready to depart for the airport.  We will see you all soon with many stories, lots of fun souvenirs and 100's of photos!

  2. I think it is a great experience that all these boys (both your choir and the LOLCB) have a chance to travel. Thank you for creating this opportunity to give our Minnesota young men a greater worldview. They will be better men for it. I wish the Minnesota Boychoir Tour Choir safe travels and an awesome experience.
