| Aquileia & Udine, Monday, 2, July, '01 (European style) - Hot and Sunny still. Last night's opening concert in Trieste a huge hit! Daniela, our Italian Tour Escort, had to fetch the Singers back into the church for a second encore! Aquileia is a village northwest of Trieste whose ancient church boasts mosaics of early Christian symbols on the soccer field-sized floor of the main church, and others still being unearthed in adjoining catacombs. Udine (oo-din-ay) is a more modern town with lots of shops. But today like each day so far in Italy most shops are tightly closed and every one with a Special Promotionale (sale) sign! Torture! At tonight's concert a short way from Udine, NAS is appearing with a local choral group. Daniela slyly hints of something special afterward. More adventure! |
