Day 2 in Salisbury!
The choir started the day with a traditional English breakfast buffet, but we still have not found any porridge. Hope springs eternal, though!
The choir headed to Old Sarum College, where we used to stay before COVID. They rehearsed in the chapel at the college, which had amazing acoustics.
Following rehearsal, we enjoyed a walking tour of the city, including seeing William Golding's house (our tour guide's daughters used his horse for lessons before he became so famous he had to move!), the site of Handel's first concert, and a filming location for the film Sense & Sensibility.
Today was market day in Salisbuy, and we've found we really enjoy it - we've been able to find something for everyone to eat, whether it's Indian, Korean, Italian or yes, even American!
Some of the kids located the Tesco and did some snack shopping while others went for mani/pedis at a salon near our hotel (The White Hart Inn).
There was a funeral taking place at the Cathedral when we arrived for our Evensong rehearsal, so we waited quietly for that to end. Evensong was at 5:30, followed by a group dinner for the choristers and chaperones at Wagamama.
Tomorrow is our day off, so we're off for a full day of tours and exploring!
