Almost home.....

Hi all,
I´m struggling with a computer that has a broken key. It´s the letter between u and w. So I can´t properly type Lady Co_e. I´ll just use the underscore for that letter if I need it. In any case, this hotel here in Salzburg is absolutely beautiful and a perfect way to end our journey.

In addition to our competition in Debrecin, Hungary, we enjoyed non-competition performances in two stunning churches - one in Budapest and the other this morning just outside Salzburg in a beautiful town called (and my spelling might be incorrect) Mondsee.

Joan, my much better half, was right on cue and was there to greet us (me) in Budapest when our bus pulled up to the hotel there last week and has been with us (me) the rest of the way through Hungary and Austria.

I wouldn´t be able to put in words how wonderful, rewarding and exciting this trip has been, but I think it´s also safe to say that we´re looking forward to home. If there´s anyone out there still checking this blog and you´d like to come out to greet us, we´ll be on Air Canada out of Toronto scheduled to land in St. John´s at 8:28 Tuesday night. I think it´s flight 1160... or 1167... or something like that.

Thank you all as always for following our experience and for sharing your comments with us. See you in a couple of days! And just when it looks like I made it through this message without that pesky broken key, I must sign off....
