It’s our second Sunday in London so we’ve now been here for eleven days! We’ve been so busy taking in all the sights and enjoying musical performances that the time has gone by so fast. Today was a little more laid back where we started off the day with class and went straight to a noon performance of Bach Cantatas. The concert was only about an hour, but we got to see a different type of music performance with a much smaller orchestra and instruments from Bach’s time like an oboe d’amore. After attending the performance, some people set off to do laundry while others stayed in to either read or hang out with others whilewatching a movie. I think at this point in time, we’ve realized that we can slow down a little after we had been seeing the popular sights of London every day and feeling so tired at the end of the day. Following our relaxing afternoon, we all set out for a group meal at 5:45 to a Greek restaurant on the river Thames. We had a delicious two-course meal ordered by our instructors which included pita bread with different kinds of sauces for the first course and lamb meatballs, chicken kabobs, and spinach rolls for the second course. We all enjoyed our time together laughing, telling stories, and getting to know each other a little more. It was a great finish to our Sunday in London!
