Mammmma Miaaa, here I go again..."

So, I know I keep saying this: but this thing is hard to keep up!
My cast is already half way done with Europe, which means we creep closer and closer to going home...hm.
Europe has been extremely amazing. And surprising a lot like the United States, at least in my opinion. It's soooo beautiful, the only bad thing being that I haven't seen the sun since we got here. :)
My host families have all been very very wonderful to me! And extremely welcoming. I found that they only family to not know any English at all was the wonderfuly family in Germany. But the rest of the Europeans I have met know English exceptionally well!
I spent my birthday in Stolkholm, Sweden. I was searching for one thing all day: a place to pierce my nose! (My parents about died.) But I never found one, being it was Sunday and all the shops were closed. But I did find a shop in Sundsvall, Sweden. :)
Our cast got the amazing opportunity to visit Auschwitz a few weeks ago. The experience was deeply moving and spiritual. It sunk deep into my stomach.
The Vattenfall shows are going well. They are much different than the "Up With People" shows we had in the U.S. and Mexico. We are now the entertainment for the night, which is something UWP hasn't done in Europe yet. It's sometimes a rough process, but I think it's going well. Our night ends with half and hour of dancing to oldies with the employees. :D
I tried for another solo and got it! :)
(Knock on wood.)
It's called "Shine the Light" and it means so much to me. When I saw the UWP show, this was the one song that continued with me until I traveled where I SO hoped we would have it in our show. And now I'm singing it! I love it! There's a semi-decent clip of it on facebook if you would like to check it out!
Other than that, the cast keeps traveling and so on.
In one day, we do a month's worth of things. It can tend to be hard to keep track of...and we DEFINITELY stay busy. :)
I hope this is finding everyone safe and happy.
I must get sleep, it's one in the morning and we leave for Berlin tomorrow.
Love!
