Pastry Revolución: Hungary Day 5

It was another long day and for some reason we were all VERY tired today.   This morning we went to the Hungarian Radio Choir School and observed a choir rehearsal of 5th-7th graders conducted by Gabby Thesz.  They were amazing!!!  They sang in tune and were able to sight read things most adults are unable to.   I was absolutely blown away and learned so much today.  We get to go back on Friday and I'm very excited.


We then headed to the Mammoth Shopping Center for lunch at a yummy Greek restauraunt.  Yum!


Afterwards, we observed two conducting classes and a choir rehearsal at the University of Budapest. Zsusanna Mindszenty was the professor for the classes and she was great.  It's a little bitter-sweet to be meeting all of these outstanding people and to make such great friends so quickly but then we have to leave them so fast as well.   

Before we left for Hungary, Dr. Jaccard had informed us of all the wonderful Pastry Shops we would be eating at every day when we got to Hungary.   Last night we realized, "HEY!  We haven't stopped at for a pastry yet!!"  I then declared if we didn't eat at a pastry shop tomorrow, I would begin a "Pastry Revolución!"   Luckily, we had our first Pastry after dinnner tonight and it was absolutely delicious.   Finom.

We didn't record a video today... so here's a quality video of the day from our pal, Carly Rae Jepsen:
