2010 Bell Choir Tour of Seattle and Canada

Saturday, June 26,2010

Hi Bell Parents and Friends,

Today was another busy day for the ringers. After a quick breakfast, we took the bus to Seattle Center. At the Center, we went to the top of the Space Needle for a panoramic view of the city and visited the SciFi Museum, the "Experience Music Project", and the Pacific Science Center, After lunch, we returned to the hotel to get ready for the evening performance. The ringers participated in the Saturday Mass at St. James Cathedral in the Archdiocese of Seattle, The cathedral was a majestic setting and the ringers did a splendid job integrating into the service. Father Ryan and the entire congregation gave them a heartfelt round of applause and were very complimentary after the performance, It was a wonderful experience that was thoroughly enjoyed by all. After the performance, we returned to the hotel for a home cooked pasta dinner prepared by the ringers (thank you Chef Alexis).
