i’m in romania, it’s nearly 6 AM, and i haven’t gone to sleep yet.

not wise at all.

i make too many pro/con lists.

can’t i just go with the flow and see what happens? i’m in greece (and soon, turkey), for crying out loud!

eating μπισκότο (biscuit) ice cream today. soooooo good.

although i probably shouldn’t have been eating dairy in between rehearsals. hmm.

there are fliers, posters, and banners for our concerts for the festival of the aegean all over the island — even on buses! it’s really kind of trippy.

in rehearsal for mascagni’s cavalleria rusticana for the festival of the aegean in the theatre. i’m not used to singing in an opera chorus, and it sure is interesting…

we have the first of five consecutive concerts tomorrow night. i’m kind of nervous, not going to lie.

we had rehearsal until 10 PM last night and before catching a cab back to the hotel, we walked around the city a bit. in between the shopping (hah), we came across these streets and alleyways of chairs and tables occupied with couples talking over romantic candlelight.

seriously, this whole island is a dream come true. the cobblestones, cafes, boutiques, marketplaces — these are the kinds of scenes that i always see in movies but i never think that they actually exist.

i took this picture out the window of our rehearsal room in hermopolis.

we walked to the beach two nights ago and the sunset was so gorgeous…i almost never want to leave this place.

the view from my hotel room balcony in the morning.

i’ve been MIA for the past few days because i’m in greece. :)
