March 18 2011 Lucerne and Zurich Switzerland

I woke up again today to have my usual delicious breakfast of a croissant, egg, bacon, and cheese sandwich! I knew I had to get all of the energy I could because we were going on a beautiful walking tour of Lucerne, while it was still sunny. On our city tour, we were fortunate enough to see the beautiful buildings, the surrounding Alps, and the exquisite bridge over the water. Unfortunately, it was raining but you know a place is gorgeous when it could be pouring cats and dogs and it could still be beautiful. The tour was even more exciting when we figured out we could drink straight from the pretty fountains! After the tour, we separated at lunch where a few of us were very adamant in getting tattoos-- something I could only do in Europe! Unfortunately, there was a 3-4 month waiting time so we decided to buy the SWATCH instead :) We spent the rest of our time shopping, and of course, eating gelato! Soon after, we went back to our hotel where we had to change for our next concert in Zurich, Switzerland.

The music hall was incredible as it had great sound, great seating, and even the stands were pretty high-tech as well. We then went for dinner where we had delicious pasta and salad while we had the best time gossiping about who would end up together after the trip. We travelled back to the theatre, more pumped then ever. Unfortunately, the audience for this concert was certainly less than satisfactory as only 8 people showed up. Mr. Jatiouk looked very upset, but we decided to go through with the concert anyways. We could never pass up playing a concert! This night, I can honestly say that we played the best we ever had despite the circumstances. Like a coach who takes their team out after a loss, Mr. Jatiouk and Mr. Gassi did just that. They took us out for gelato after and told us how proud they were that we played regardless of who our audience was. It was one of my favourite memories of this incredible trip.
