Day 1 - SLC to Houston

 The Wesley Bell Ringers 2023 Tour

Salt Lake City to Houston



Day One of the 2023 tour started early.  We met at the airport at 4:45 am. Pastor Lisa got up early to send us out with good wishes.  





Everything went very smoothly through security, onto the plane, and arriving in Houston, Texas around 11am local time.  





Paul and the bus were waiting for us  and we were off for lunch and then a visit to NASA before the concert in Sugar Land.






After NASA we headed to Christ Church in Sugar Land, Texas. It is a beautiful building with gorgeous stained glass windows and great hosts. They fed us a dinner of sandwiches and wraps, along with some sweet tea.  We received two standing ovations from the audience!

Practicing in Sugar Land:



Post-Concert with Sugar Land's music director and handbell choir director, who was also a part of a traveling choir when she was in high school:




We were all tired from our early morning airport departure so we headed to host homes for some sleep.  Or at least that was the plan. A group of ringers went to a host home together and got to take advantage of a pool!



 Tomorrow - Baton Rouge!
