Wednesday, May 20 - Vienna, Austria to Salzburg, Austria
We left Vienna this morning to drive to Salzburg. Our coach driver was required to take a 45-minute break, so he found an incredible “rest stop” that was a restaurant, gelato and pastry shop, snack shop, and gift store. Maverick would faint if they had this as competition. The choir really enjoyed that stop!

Tuesday, May 19 - Vienna, Austria
This was a fun day—our only day in Vienna! It’s pretty challenging to even plan what to do when time is so limited. The choir split into many smaller groups for their adventures. Some hit the museums, some just walked around, many found shopping, many more found gelato, and one small group decided to see as many churches as possible and sing in each. I hear they managed 12 before needing to head back to get into their concert gear.

May 18 - Travel from Lahti, Finland to Vienna, Austria
It doesn’t seem as if getting from Lahti to Helsinki to Amsterdam to Vienna to finding all our luggage to finding our hotel would be that difficult, right?!? It was a long day.

Sunday, May 17 - Lahti, Finland
After a coolish, rainy day yesterday, we woke to a bright blue sky and moderate temps. It feels delightful as we walk around town.

Saturday, May 16 - Lahti, Finland
Today has been a very full day for the choir! It of course began with a gorgeous breakfast, in a huge room that seems to be more crowded every day. Either they are really filling the hotel, or they serve breakfast to all the hotels around. One has to watch carefully to pounce on an empty place to set up.

Friday, May 15 - Lahti, Finland
Today has been a very busy and wonderful day. The choir met up at various breakfast times, and after enjoying another remarkable spread of food, they found small groups and headed out to shop, see a museum, or simply wander through the area.

Thursday, May 14 - Lahti, Finland
As I type that day and date, it seems like it was just barely Tuesday! We are happily settling into our home away from home here in Lahti. We have a little towel in the bathroom that declares Finland has the world’s best water. We all agree, and are enjoying it. That is not always the case with tap water when traveling…

Wednesday, May 13 - Travel to Lahti, Finland
Hello from Lahti, Finland. After a very long day, BYU Singers have finally arrived. We are about 90 minutes outside of Helsinki. From arrival at the SLC airport early afternoon Tuesday until we reached our hotel took close to 20 hours. Our two flights went smoothly—8 hours to Amsterdam and then 2.5 hours to Helsinki.
