July 7 – More rehearsals and a field trip
On Friday, we had a morning rehearsal at DCU. Susan rode in with us and took a taxi to the Dublin Zoo, where they have a baby white rhino, among other interesting fauna. After the rehearsal, the bus took us out into the country to Glendalough, which was a ruin of an ancient monastery. The scenary was fabulous. We also had a lovely lunch at their visitor center. We then returned to the hotel, and later were driven to Christ Church Cathedral, where the concert would be on Saturday. We spent quite a while figuring out how to get all of those people onto the risers and then had a rehearsal.
