Songs: Glory Glory, This Land is Your Land, This Little Light of Mine, Down by the Riverside, Battle Hymn, God Bless America, America the Beautiful

We had the most incredible time. We were joined by 7 beautiful ladies who were visiting Santa Barbara from Ireland. They got on the trolley and sang with us. It was so thrilling. At the end they sang their national anthem for us and they we sang ours for them. They couldn't beleive that they were able to be part of such an incredible American experience.
