Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I have memories from a lot of the places you are visiting. Your photographs, videos and commentary have made me realise that I have many more memories to make whilst I still can.

So true.

Thank you Mysty.   I’m not likely to go on a world cruise but have visited many of the places you have photographed and you have brought back wonderful memories. 

It also reminds me that there is a huge amount of the world to be explored. 

You have given me "itchy feet"!

Jill, I hope you have a wonderful time scratching that itch!  Thanks so much for following along!

So much to see and do! Thanks for the reminder of how many holes there are left to fill in our travel map. Guess we'd better get planning!

I did some research on this youth choir this morning.  They are called Leioa Kantika Korala.  From the website ( http://www.conservatorioleioa.com/leioakantikakorala/en/leioa-kantika-korala.html )

 

"The Kantika choir was formed in 2001 at the Municipal Music School in Leioa upon the initiative of the conductor, Basilio Astúlez. It is made up of 45 young people between the ages of 10 and 17, and they all study at this conservatoire. Its overriding aim is to introduce them to the pleasures of choral music and extend their musical training, which means embracing the most extensive possible variety and wealth of styles and repertoire. The ensemble has now become a referent in today’s choir scene due both to its bold programming and to it meticulous arrangements and its commitment to commissioning and premiering new music written for young voices."

 

Here is the link to the whole song "Bring me little water Silvy" performed outside the Guggenheim available on YouTube:
