Virginia tattoo day 2
Sleep came easy after having a full nights sleep in a bed of luxury (instead of trying to sleep upright in a plane or on the airport floor.) We had a wake up call at 7:00am, although two team members (Tess and Nicole) didn't receive the call, therefore they slept in (this was because their room number was left off the list). The rest of the team made their way to the school gym where we had our very first rehearsal, meanwhile the other two got ready in 2 minutes flat and arrived shortly after. Firstly we met the American dancers who were very welcoming, bright and bubbly. We finally managed to piece together and learn two full dances "Norfolk Ladies" and "The Gael" after eight hours of practice with a few adjustments to the dancing language.
We experienced our first supermarket shop where some girls decided to go a little crazy with the bargains (e.g a 24 pack of bottled water for $3) and later that evening we walked down to a three story mall accompanied by our adopted parents (Duffy and Nina) for both shopping and dinner,which was AMAZING!! While Mrs Hall and Mrs Piesse stayed to enjoy a few drinks.
Anyway, it is now 11.05pm so I think it's time for bed. What a busy day!
