Sahuarita, AZ!! Part II

So I got to do possibly the coolest thing I've done on tour yet, I met a Prince of the Netherlands! He was at our show in Sahuarita, and we had a conversation, he was so down to earth and just completely excited about my UWP experience, and wanted to know about what I was doing after UWP. That same night, I met the Colwell brothers and Herb Allen, the founding fathers of UWP, they wrote the music for UWP for the first twenty years of its existence, and they wrote the song, "Up With People". It was so cool to be able to meet and perform for these amazing people. The show in Sahuarita was the first time since the 80's that the Colwells, Herb Allen, Blanton Belk (the founder of UWP inc.), and a few other early UWP VIPs have gotten together, and they were so impressed with cast B, with the work we were doing, the show, the energy, the welcoming nature, and all of the students. It was a really cool thing and a really great honor to have them at our show.
After Show Day was Host Family day, and Judy, John, Linda from Finland, Cheryssa from NJ, and I had a great day. In the morning we slept in (too tired for church) then we all went to lunch at Olive Garden, where we stuffed ourselves silly. As if that wasn't enough, we then went to Coldstone Creamery and we all had ice cream. Afterwards we went to the pool and swam for a while to get the fat off us. That night we played Mexican Train (Dominos) and had Fondu for dinner, it was so much fun!!!
I was so sad to leave John and Judy on Monday, I really love them and will miss them so much!

This is me with John and Judy the morning that I left for Albuquerque.

Now I'm in Albuquerque, and am hosted with two other girls in the cast, Isabelle from Germany, and Shawna from Pennsylvania, staying with Nancy Brady. I'll update more later...
