"Girls, get up!" A seven o'clock wake up call is WAY too early for us. We slept until 7:45. Don't tell anyone.

When we were finally forced out of our tiny, yet comfortable rooms, we got to go HIKING! The narrators, being daring, chose the longest out of three hikes accompanied by Stuart, our very own Indiana Jones. With his trusty map and bizarre hat, he led us through GREEN forests with GREEN moss, which as we all know, is a color foreign to us beach bums. We even ran into a deer. It gave us an opportunity to snap a few publicity shots before dashing back off into the woods. Our legs will be sore for days. I promise.

Our next destination of importance was our last concert. The concert itself wasn't one of our best, but, with the Youth Choir's razzle-dazzle ending to "Route 66" and the senior sob session that followed, this will be a concert to remember. We must acknowledge our seniors (or freshman, whichever they prefer). Today was the day to bid adieu to Ran, Lauren, Sara, and Carrie. We'll miss you incredibly!!

As a compensation for our tears, Polly announced a curfew of eleven o'clock, a time completely unknown to the choir. We partied until we could party no more and turned ourselves in for a well-deserved sleep and a preparation for the plane ride to come.
