Glad everything is good at home.
Good to hear from you too. Well the Gospel Church was FANTASTIC!!!!
The tour of Harlem on the bus was great we got to see alot, we drove past Central Park which was white with snow and we saw Chipmunks! Chipmunks were one of the 2 animals I was hoping to see, the other being a skunk (don't worry Graham, I know not to run over pick him up and squeeze him with a friendly hug).
I don't know what sort of impression the other tourists had of us on the bus, we stopped in Harlem where we had 15 mins to have a walk and look around and meet back at the bus, we were tired and hungry so Brad and I did a quick sprint over to MickyDees and had a bacon and egg McGriddle. We came out of the store ripped open the bag and were woofing down our mcgriddles, only I couldn't eat my griddle cause it made me feel sick so I was trying to eat the bacon off of it with out touching it, all this in full view of the bus. We got back to the bus and found out they were waiting for us. Well if that wasn't enough once we'd eaten we got sleepy and started dozing on and off during the last part of the tour. It might've gone unnoticed if we weren't in the second seat right where the tour guide was standing. We arrived at this gorgeous church and were greeted so warmly by members of the church (Sisters, oh and I do mean sisters). They were absolutely wonderful. Our group sat at the back of this small church. The church service started in song and......WOW!!! Unbelievable would be an understatement. The congregation rose to their feet and they all danced and sang and clapped, they were completely immersed and taken by the music and oh how they sing and dance. They are so joyful, there aren't words enough to explain how they are. Once they sing and dance they are so happy. We didn't want to stop listening to them when we had to go for our Soul food brunch at the Cotton Club which is a jazz club. They put out a beautiful spread the place was great full of ambience. Then the band came out to play and again wow. They were a 3 piece, bass, drums and keyboard. Then the singer came on, Helen Slade and boy could she sing, she was joined by 2 backup singers. We enjoyed it so much, then guess who ended up on stage clapping, dancing and singing a bit of back up???? Yep, none other than yours truly. It was so much fun. I had the greatest time. Brad taped it on the camera so I will show you all that when we get home. OK I'd better go gotta get ready for Broadway.
Boys we love you
Love you all
