As always, this trip was amazing! We go to experience the music, arts, culture and history of someplace new. Nanda delivers, and then some. The participants always become family. Our shared experiences in the many areas of music and education mixed with those things that are unique to individuals creates a wonderful blend of perspectives as we meet with our counterparts. Trip was no exception. Our visits with the Finnish musicians and teachers, the tours to the various sites, museums, craft people, and FOOD were terrific! My personal favorite experience on this trip was watching a rehearsal of "Peter and the Wolf" in the Helsinki Orchestra Hall. It was a unique performance, and most delightful! My Nanda adventure is always on the top of the list of things I anticipate. My fellow travelers are like a second family. Our leader, Lynn, is SO completely amazing! Thank you, Nanda, for coming into my life at the time when I needed it most.
