Some Random Memories of the European Tour

• Amazing performances by Symphonic Winds. School concerts at the American School of Paris and the International School of Brussels; an outdoor concert in the Grand Place in Brussels; chamber ensemble performances in the Musical Instrument Museum in Brussels (and “Clap Happy” outside!); the formal concert in the incredible London venue of  St. John’s, Smith Square.
  
  

• Boat trips. The Seine River tour in Paris; canal cruise in Bruges, Belgium; ferry "ship" from Calais, France, to Dover, England.
  
  

• Theater. Performance of Phantom of the Opera at Her Majesty’s Theatre in London’s West End; visit to the Globe Theater in London.
  
  

• Great churches. Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris (and Sacre Coeur Basilica); Cathedral of St. Bavo in Ghent; Westminster Abbey in London.
  
  

• "Walking" food! Pastries and crepes in Paris; waffles and chocolate on the streets of Brussels; fish and chips “take away” in London (and beer at McDonald's?).
  
  

• Views from above. Eiffel Tower in Paris; the “Eye” in London.
  
  

• Big "houses." Palace of Versailles in France; Windsor Castle in England (and Tower of London and Buckingham Palace and St. James and Whitehall!)
  
  

• Museums. The Louvre in Paris; the Royal Museum of the Army and Military History in Brussels; the British Museum in London.
  
  

• “Cultural” experiences. Firemen’s riot in Paris; Professor Nimmons' "History of Belgium"; the great “End of Tour Party” at the home of our guide and friend, David Jordan.
  
  

• Beautiful weather. 'Nuff Said!
