The first of two ship excursions on the day after Christmas was a tour of the Strait of Magellan in a Chilean Naval Vessel. The choir was shuttled in small groups to the naval vessel in a smaller boat, and once the entire choir had assembled on the naval vessel, we headed south on the Strait of Magellan. The choir toured in the boat in sections with one section enjoying the bridge, another the open stern deck, the third enjoyed cake and hot cocoa in the mess, and of course, the last group practiced in sectional.
Finally, the choir sang to the non-essential crew on the stern deck, where we took a group photo.
Next up…Penguins!

Celebramos la Navidad en Punta Arenas, la única ciudad que visitamos en la gira de 2009 y a la que regresamos en esta gira. Esta fue la primera vez que muchos de nosotros pasamos la Navidad sin nuestras familias, pero Punta Arenas nos dio unas familias Chilenas nuevas. Muchas gracias a la Armada de Chile por llevarnos en uno de sus barcos por el Estrecho de Magallanes a Cabo Froward, el punto más austral de la tierra de Sudamérica. También queremos dar muchas gracias a la familia Sharp por todo lo que ha hecho para nosotros, incluyendo la barbacoa de cordero
