Córdoba

After a long day of traveling from the city of Mendoza, the Simply Blue choir arrived to the city of Cordoba where the authorities from Collegium were awaiting for the group.

As soon as they arrived at the local bus station, the students were transferred to the school installations where the excited host families were ready to take each one of the choir members to their temporary new homes. After welcome words from the hosts and host family distribution, everyone departed for a well deserved rest.

The following day, they had a free morning with their host families. Some of them stayed at home while others went out to enjoy some shopping. In the afternoon they all left to Oncativo, to return late at night after their performance there.

Sunday once again gave them some free time during the morning to rest, or spend some quality time with their host families. Early in the afternoon they met at the San Martin Theatre to warm up and prepare ready for the concert.

The concert was divided in two halves. The first being performances by local choirs and bands; the second half was for Simply Blue. The auditorium was completely filled to overflowing and everyone in the audience enjoyed the show. After the performance, Collegium offered some snacks and drinks to Simply Blue Choir together with the host families.

The last day in Cordoba started early morning. The choir presented 3 mini concerts to the kindergarten pupils during the morning. Then, they had a half hour workshop meeting before enjoying some chicken and chips for lunch at Collegium.

After lunch, the joined a walking tour of the city of Cordoba where they visited the Cathedral, the Cabildo, the main plaza "San Martin", the Jesuit Mission, National University of Cordoba headquarters, and the pedestrian area in down town Cordoba city.

Later that afternoon, they returned to Collegium to pick up their luggage and left to Cordoba Shopping Centre where they performed for the last time in this city before departing to the province of Salta to continue their tour.
