Thursday 30 October

Today's weather has been as bright and sunny as yesterday's was cold and wet. In the morning we visited the Science Center, were the boys enjoyed exhibits which simulated weightlessness, and a variety of other interesting things. Some also toured the submarine USS Requin, which is moored there. We then travelled on to the Pittsburgh Trolley Museum, which has a variety of trolley buses (trams) on display and enjoyed a journey on the line the museum operates.



Then it was onto Wheeling WV. After the rehearsal, we had dinner, with a very nice pasta soup. During the break before the concert, the choristers were given a tour of the nearby police station, and had a look inside a squad car.


That evening's concert was in front of a large and enthusiastic audience, but as it was quite late and the return journey to Pittsburgh would take an hour and a half, it was straight back on the bus.
